problems to open graphics device

[Malcolm Williamson]

The standard GRASS xdriver only works on 8-bit graphic displays. Check 
your PC display to be sure that it is set to 256 colors. If you wish to 
be able to display on a PC running more than 256 colors, you'll need to 
get the contributed "24XDRIVER" code off of GRASS ftp site. This will 
provide you with a GRASS 8-bit display window that will work on 24-bit 
desktops. Good luck,
