Either your X server is misconfigured to look for rgb database in the wrong place, or your OS installation is messed up or corrupted. In the early stages of FC5 development there were some legitimate bugs concerning rgb.txt being installed in the wrong place, and the X server looking in the wrong place, etc. however all such bugs have long since been fixed. All bug reports that have come in since have been traced back to misconfigured X servers, or having very old packages installed, or some other transient problem. If you're unable to determine which is occuring for your case, do a complete fresh reinstallation of FC5test3 and the problem should vanish. Hope this helps.
It was a complete fresh installation of FC5test3. But today an 'yum -y update' solved this problem.
If it occurs on a fresh OS install, then the only thing that could cause it is misconfiguration, because I have directly verified that the system X libraries and the X server both look for rgb.txt in the proper location and the file is installed in the correct location. The only way it wont be found is if the xorg.conf redefines RgbPath to another location which is incorrect. clumens: Please ensure s-c-d is not writing out RgbPath to the config file.
pyxf86config has a single reference to it, but I don't believe s-c-display or rhpxl are using it for anything. I'm not seeing it on a default Rawhide install.
