Hi,
starting
dkraft@newton/home/dkraft> xterm
I get
Warning: Color name "black" is not defined
dkraft@newton/home/dkraft> ll /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt
is present
How can I activate the colors?
Maybe someone has managed to delete the black entry in the rgb.txt, then
add it manually, you can check this easily with: grep black
/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt
Another possibility is that your X is configured to look for the file in
another place, see to that you have
RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
//Aho
in Fedora Core 5
the location of the database has changed
from
# RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
to
RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
thanks again

FWIW - this is where it's located on a Debian 3.1r1 install using a
2.4.27 kernel;
$ locate rgb.txt
/etc/X11/rgb.txt
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
Note;
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt is a symbolic link to /etc/X11/rgb.txt
View the contents using either;
$ less /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt
or
$ less /etc/X11/rgb.txt
I believe I'm using XFree86 (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4) instead of the
newer X.org stuff
