Bug 118604 – [patch] x11-misc/gcolor2 new rgb.txt path for modular X

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Tim Harder 2006-01-10 19:16:08 UTC]

Gcolor2 does not include the path /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt in the locations it looks for rgb info. This is where x11-apps/rgb installs the rgb.txt file. I don't know if this bug occurs using X11R6.9 since I only run X11R7.0.

I used the filename modular-rgb.patch for the patch in the ebuild, but you can change it to whatever you like.

bumped to -r2, test and report back

[Comment 6 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-11-18 07:09:17 UTC]

Cool, works fine now...

arches, please stabilize -r2; without this fix, you can't use RGB color names at all w/ modular X - which is a major issue for application with the sole purpose of selecting colors :)

To test, pick up a random color name from /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt, type it into the 'Color name' box, press enter and watch the result *g*
