sorry, but for the sake of brevity i did not mention that i experimented with rgbpath, to no avail, before reporting a bug... anyhow, i modified as suggested my xorg.conf, please see the following cut+paste, but as you can see the X server still does not know about a color name (deepblue) that is in my /etc/X11/rgb.txt as a side note, i have the same problem both at my office, from where i'm writing to you, and at home ------------------------------------------------------------------------ boffi95:~# whoami root boffi95:~# vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf boffi95:~# grep -iC1 rgbpath /etc/X11/xorg.conf Section "Files" RgbPath "/etc/X11/rgb" # path to defoma fonts boffi95:~# strace -o X.strace /usr/bin/X > X.out 2> X.err & sleep 10 [1] 16353 boffi95:~# xsetroot -display :0 -solid gray85 boffi95:~# xsetroot -display :0 -solid deepblue xsetroot: unknown color "deepblue" boffi95:~# grep deepblue$ /etc/X11/rgb.txt 44 44 178 deepblue ------------------------------------------------------------------------ after killing X, i have found in Xorg.0.log: (**) RgbPath set to "/etc/X11/rgb" to me, it's deep water... thank you Michel, thank you everybody gb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
