[ snip: rest of rgb.txt (identical to the file on my system) ]
Check what your RGBpath really is; the default has changed for Xorg:
$ grep -i rgbpath /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(==) RgbPath set to "/usr/share/X11/rgb"
You can either specify /etc/X11/rgb as the RGBpath in your xorg.conf
(note: do not include the ".txt", it is appended automatically) or you
can create a symlink in /usr/share/X11/ which points to the other file.
This is how it is set up on my box:
$ file /usr/share/X11/rgb.txt
/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt: symbolic link to `/etc/X11/rgb.txt'
I don't remember if I did this myself or if it happened automatically
during the upgrade. In any case, it seems to work.
