colors problem..[fixed]

jinn · 2006-01-04 21:49:47

When I try make menuconfig in /usr/src/linux I get a black screen.. only happens when I am running X. It works fine on the terminal without X.

I tried also to run xterm with black background and different colors, but I get only black and cant se anything else..

Why? which package is broken? Ive tried to reinstall ncurses but didnt help?

any ideas?

You need to properly set the RgbPath in xorg.conf to point to whereever rgb.txt is (I think it's /usr/share/X11/ but I could be wrong - not at my machine right now)

I located the rgb.txt and it was in here: /usr/share/X11 as you said..
Changed the xorg.conf to this location, but didnt help..

dmesg:

 cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep RGB

I think you need the full file - /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt

jinn · 2006-01-05 00:09:14

tried that also, still the same..

phrakture · 2006-01-05 00:12:30

Whoops, didn't see that - is the file readable by that user?
Try 'pacman -Qo /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt' and reinstall whatever package it tells you owns the file - it's always possible something mucked the file up.

hmmmm...

RGBPath "path"
    sets the path name for the RGB color database. When this entry is not specified in the config file, the server falls back to the compiled-in default RGB path, which is: 

    /tmp/Xorg-KEM/lib/X11/rgb 

Note that an implicit .txt is added to this path if the server was compiled to use text rather than binary format RGB color databases.

Try without the .txt?

phrakture... I love you..*Fat big wet toung kiss*

tried without the .txt and it worked..

rofl!

I had this problem with the testing xorg. Good to know how to fix it.

ramjet · 2006-01-10 11:36:11

i do not have the rgb.txt file in /usr/share/X11. I have tried to reinstall the package that contains it according to the -Qo command :
#pacman -S xorg-clients
but it is stil not there..
anyone know whats going on??.. (i have xorg 7 from the testing repository obviously)

if there a command to extract that specific file?

ramjet · 2006-01-10 12:40:12
