OK, I've found the problem. The old xorg.conf file had an RgbPath line (and quite a few other entries) that pointed to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt, which no longer exists. Commenting out the line and accepting the default fixes the problem.
I have no idea which package this problem should be filed against, since it's not really xserver-xorg's fault that the config file contains obsolete pathnames. --Jim On Mon, Apr 24, 2006 at 08:40:03PM -0400, David Nusinow wrote: > reassign 364689 x11-common > merge 364689 343389 > tags 343389 -pending > thanks > > On Mon, Apr 24, 2006 at 07:54:20PM -0400, James Aspnes wrote: > > Package: xterm > > Version: 210-3 > > Severity: important > > > > Upon spawning xterm, it emits the error messages > > > > Warning: Color name "white" is not defined > > Warning: Color name "black" is not defined > > > > and puts up an all-black window.
