Running grass through Xwindows on a Solaris Server?

[Malcolm Williamson]

(anyone please correct me if the following is not correct!)
Rob,
Like the other responses, I would say that this presents no problems. We
have used Hummingbird's eXceedNT in the past, and currently
use StatNet's X-Win32 (they have a good multi-license discount) in
conjunction with the Tera Term terminal emulator (freebie, I think, nice
UNIX to Windows compatibility).

However, to the best of my knowledge, it is not possible to run the NVIZ
module through these products. The problem is that X-Windows is a
client-side product, and the Mesa graphics library necessary for the
NVIZ graphics would therefore have to be on the client. I don't know of
a way to do this with an X emulator. That's the only limitation to using
GRASS in this manner that I know of.

Cheers,
