That is what I meant; maybe I did not make myself clear.

Seems like it is the same file on your system. Just to be sure, check if
it actually contains a definition for "black":
$ grep black /etc/X11/rgb.txt
0 0 0 black

Maybe your xorg.conf still points to the old location at
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt. You can check this with "grep -i rgb
/etc/X11/xorg.conf". If that comes up empty you could try to explicitly
specify the correct RGBPath yourself; see "man xorg.conf".
