I think X on Debian adds ".txt" automatically to the RGBPath nowadays;
so in your case the X server might look for "/etc/X11/rgb.txt.txt". Try
to remove the ".txt" part (or comment out the entire line) and restart
Xorg. If that does not help it is probably time to run
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and look for warnings and errors related to rgb.txt.
