Bug Description
Binary package hint: xterm
Hello,
The file rgb.txt does not seem to exist in Ubuntu 8.10.
When starting xterm on Ubuntu 8.10 I see the following warnings:
Warning: Color name "black" is not defined
Warning: Color name "gray60" is not defined
Warning: Cannot convert arguments to displayList function "foreground"
Warning: Cannot convert string "foreground gray90;lines 1,-1,-1,
Then doing a search for rgb.txt
ls -al `sudo find / -name rgb.txt`
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2008-11-02 00:21 /usr/share/
By doing the search above should have yielded in the actual file and not just only the symbolic link:
ls -al /etc/X11/rgb.txt
ls: cannot access /etc/X11/rgb.txt: No such file or directory
Having obtained a copy of rgb.txt from the Internet, and placing it in the /etc/X11/rgb.txt location
stops these xterm warnings appearing.
The workaround therefore is to obtain the rgb.txt and to place it in the /etc/X11/ directory.

Hi rounin-urashima,
Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
