[comp.windows.x] DS3100 UWS 2.1 color table confusion on monochrome displayu

alk@donald.cs.umn.edu (Anthony L. Kimball) (08/01/90)

Here's the deal:  My DecStation 3100 won't read /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt.
I have remade rgb.pag, but nonetheless....

As a result (??) Xprompter won't work, so I've had to use plain tty
console login, and 'startx' to startx after login.  Further, I've
had to change -fg white -bg black to -fg #FFFFFF -bg #000000 in all
aliases and .twmrc.  Still, I get lots of console messages
warning that the X Toolkit can't find "Black" or "black" every time 
I start an xterm.  God alone knows what all else will break when I
try to use it.

So far I have yet to find any differences in significant files betwixt
my DS3100 and the others here.

When I use the server args -co '/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt', I have no luck,
and in anycase xinit informs me that RGB_DB is inaccessible when starting X.

I am truly befuddled and in rather a pickle, so any help will be much
appreciated!
