The thread in the gnu.org list seems the most promising. The thread in the debian list seemed to die without published solution. I decided to investigate further my case following the gnu.org list, and here is what I found: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ locate rgb.txt /etc/xplanet/rgb.txt /usr/share/doc/libgd-graph-perl/examples/samples/rgb.txt.gz /usr/share/emacs/21.4/etc/rgb.txt /usr/share/xplanet/rgb.txt /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt Now, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2005-11-01 20:11 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt -> /etc/X11/rgb.txt (a symlink) and [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /etc/X11/rgb.txt ls: /etc/X11/rgb.txt: No such file or directory (that points nowhere) Besides, my xorg.conf has no reference to that file [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ grep rgb /etc/X11/xorg.conf [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Can someone with working emacs check and see if they have this file in their systems (sid)?
