[gentoo-user] after xorg update, emacs: undefined color: "black"

[Alan E. Davis]

Why does this happen?  I upgraded to xorg modular (7.0.0).  Most
things work ok, but emacs gives me this error message.  This includes
three versions of emacs.

    # emacs
    Undefined color: "black
    #

I found two messages on the ubuntuforums about this error, assoc with
xorg, but the www was too slow, and I gave up.

Can anyone point to the light?

I ran into something similar earlier with rxvt.  Changing RgbPath in
xorg.conf seemed to fix things, but the migrating to modular X howto
suggests removing the line (to use the default setting).

I see.

I learned, meanwhile, about that rgb.txt was responsible.  I linked
rgb.txt to it's old address, and wondered why it might have slipped
by.  My, my...  Should have read more of that howto, and will.

I am amazed at how straightforward Gentoo has been.  Less hocus pokus,
and more really solid work.  Thanks to all of the whomevers who have
done this.

I had paranoidly waited for months to update to modular xorg.  It went
really smootly.  I have to recompile Nvidia modules, and that's all.
