Re: terminal errors

It sounds like your xorg.conf isn't pointed to the correct rgb file. Are you using xorg7 by any chance?

$ locate rgb.txt
/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt
$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep rgb
RgbPath      "/usr/lib/X11/rgb"

Hope that helps.

Re: terminal errors

For others who come across this issue--Judd gives steps for installing xorg-7 in his blog and there's a more complete howto on the wiki.  (I got bitten by it as well)

Aside from the Rgb path, there' s a few other things.
