[GRASSLIST:4458] d.mon -> X Error ->monitor fails to open

Grass5.0.0 on "dist.sparc-sun-solaris2.7" just compiled.

Starting grass from same place as pre3 version (i.e. 
same .grassrc5 files, data base etc.).

TCLTKGRASS 3.2(2001) pops right up.

Go to start monitor and I get the following:

 found 5 visuals of type TrueColor
 searching for highest bit depth
 selected 24 bit depth
 X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
   Major opcode of failed request:  1 (X_CreateWindow)
   Serial number of failed request:  8
   Current serial number in output stream:  20
 No socket to connect to for monitor <x0>.
 Problem selecting x0. Will try once more
 No socket to connect to for monitor <x0>.

I am enclosing a print out of xdpyinfo for reference.

I have a SUN ultra 10. I don't know how to tell
what video card I have.

I need help again, please.

This is a change from pre3 which never had a problem
opening a monitor.  I did have problems with the colors 
(or lack there of) but not the monitor.
