Description Michal Jaegermann 2005-11-17 02:41:20 UTC
Description of problem:

A server is used by system-config-display tries that:
....
(++) Log file: "/dev/null", Time: Wed Nov 16 17:33:53 2005
(++) Using config file: "/tmp/tmp_Tx8Mtxorg.config"
Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/lib/X11/rgb'
....

Indeed it "couldn't open" because '/usr/lib/X11/rgb' does not exist.
There is '/usr/lib64/X11/rgb.txt' instead.  I am not sure if this
is a reason why some menus/buttons in system-config-setup are inactive.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-drivers-0.99.2-3

Comment 1 Michal Jaegermann 2005-11-17 04:06:14 UTC
It appears that the disease is much wider.  I can see the same "Couldn't open"
in logs from my efforts to get gdm going somewhere.

Comment 3 Michal Jaegermann 2005-11-17 16:45:21 UTC
Is this really a duplicate of 173036?  The other wonders if a position
of rgb.txt should be architecture independent.  This one says that on x86_64
the file is searched in non-existing locations and this has really nothing
to do with what is, or is not, in xorg.conf file.

Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2005-11-17 16:49:51 UTC
The problems are semi-related, and so I grouped them together as they
initially were to be fixed together.  However I thought of another
workaround for the problem, which isn't tied to the other bug, so I've
de-duplicated this one.
