Can you try again with xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-9, currently in http://incoming.debian.org/ ? i have installed xserver-xorg-core 2:1.1.1-9, and i have tried to use the color deepblue in two distinct server instances, with and without the RgbPath directive in xorg.conf --- and no, the new server doesn't find deepblue in the color db in neither case tonight i'll try the same at home, where i have a similar debian system having the same problem, but i'm a bit pessimistic... just a question, is this strange behaviour confirmed on systems different from my two? thank you g

Package: xserver-xorg-core Version: 2:1.1.1-7 Severity: normal in my debian, the X colour db is installed by x11-common, in two places, the traditional one, /etx/X11, and the new standard, /usr/share/X11 i'm used to increment the colour db with italian names and other things and until recently (less than a week) all worked as intended now X does not recognize anymore these italian colours, afaict (i strace'd Xorg binary) because it's unable to find rgb.txt here it is a simple test case: START - - 1 from the console type -- $ sudo echo 230 230 230 grigiochiaro /etc/X11/rgb.txt - 2 start X as usual, e.g., $ startx - 3 from an xterm, type $ xsetroot -solid grigiochiaro - 4 read the error message - xsetroot: unknown color grigiochiaro END --- btw, the server binary contains a copy of the colour db, so it knows about rosybrown and chartreuse even if no rgb.txt is available to it, shadowing the problem to 99.994% of the user base... thank you gb -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-2-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages xserver-xorg-core depends on: ii libc62.3.6.ds1-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontenc1 1:1.0.2-2 X11 font encoding library ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-14 GCC support library ii libxau6 1:1.0.1-2 X11 authorisation library ii libxdmcp61:1.0.1-2 X11 Display Manager Control Protoc ii libxfont11:1.2.2-1 X11 font rasterisation library ii x11-common 1:7.1.0-1 X Window System (X.Org) infrastruc ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3-13 compression library - runtime Versions of packages xserver-xorg-core recommends: ii xkb-data 0.8-13 X Keyboard Extension (XKB) configu -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Giacomo, adding
RgbPath /etc/X11/rgb
to the xorg.conf Section Files should serve as a workaround.

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

boffi95:~# vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf

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
