Description of problem: Cannot install a customized rgb.txt file because the /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt file is ignored by the X server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Server running Xorg 7.1.1 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit the rgb.txt file, changing the "Blue" and "blue" entries to "255 0 0". 2. Start the X server. 3. Create an xterm with the following command: "xterm -fg blue". Actual results: The xterm window appears with blue foreground text. Expected results: The xterm window should appear with red foreground text, since the rgb.txt was edited to associate the name "blue" with a red color "255 0 0". Additional info: No other copies of rgb.txt reside in the system. Also, there were no errors in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. RgbPath is set to "/usr/share/X11/rgb" in the xorg.conf file.

Wow, someone actually modifies the rgb database? How retro. Devel ack, trivial.
