A user on IRC (the address on Cc) just had this same problem today. Adding
the RgbPath to xorg.conf and symlinking to /usr/share/X11 worked. Thanx A
LOT for the info! :)
I think we need this on the FAQ if there's an easy known solution :) so it
should be something like:
If you have xgl, add the entry to xorg.conf and symlink.
If unsure or if you don't have xgl, download rgb.txt from [download
place], save it on /etc/X11 and add the entry to your xorg.conf.
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/etc/X11/rgb"
careful: it will only work WITHOUT the extension!
