Sorry I wrong. I ran those commands in a ssh terminal which was logged into a machine that has been upgraded since gutsy. I checked again on my cleanly installed jaunty box and there I don't have the file anywhere in /usr and not under /etc either, despite having x11-common and gcolor2 installed. If I open gcolor2 the colors and indeed missing on this machine just as you suggested.
I also grepped the upstream xserver git tree and found this: commit d0dd649035fc3698c5b436f9d9d248116aa106a3 Author: Jon TURNEY <jon.tur...@dronecode.org.uk> Date: Thu Feb 12 16:03:16 2009 +0000 Remove references to rgb.txt from files section of Xserver and Xorg man pages The references to this file in the server code were removed in commit dda10c9066a660b647384179f82e1da8e063264f Signed-off-by: Jon TURNEY <jon.tur...@dronecode.org.uk> commit dda10c9066a660b647384179f82e1da8e063264f Author: Daniel Stone <dan...@fooishbar.org> Date: Mon Nov 5 16:28:35 2007 +0000 Remove all traces of external RGB database (and Speedo) Remove all references to an external RGB database (which hasn't been enabled for a very long time).
