this is the problem: You have to start a GRASS monitor:

d.mon start=x0

(not d.mon start=CELL)

Then a black window should open.

Yes, because it writes all output into the raster map D_cell. This is used
for high resolution prints only (if exporting).
I guess you want to look at the maps: run above
d.mon start=x0

then for example:
d.rast soils

etc.

Hope this helps
