[GRASS-user] problem with display monitors on mac

[William Kyngesburye]

Is X11 running?  I'm not sure about Larenzo's binaries, but X11 might  
not start automatically.

If gis.m works, then you may be using the Aqua interface, which  
doesn't need X11, but all the d.* commands need it still.

I'm not sure of the operational status of d.m, though.  gis.m should  
fully replace d.m functionality.  It may be that d.m doesn't work in  
Aqua mode.

I find that TclTk Aqua has usability problems - not all controls have  
been Aquafied (like the sliders), and are larger than on other  
platforms so layout gets slightly messed up, and NVIZ has occassional  
problems.  So I always recommend sticking to X11 for GRASS.
