pink or purple? some would actually consider this an enhancement :-)

but since you don't I'll see if it can be fixed.

X people. Thanks for your time. Any hints here?

[Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2005-02-15 14:03:59 UTC]

grep RgbPath /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Should be /usr/lib/X11/rgb on >=6.8.0-r4

Thanks Donnie,

Richard - going to assume this is the problem in your setup.
