I have the .99pl6 SLS distrubution, and this is my problem:
I can have as many displays as I have free VT's, but I can only have one in
color. If a start an X server and one is already running I get an error
message that says "Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X386/lib/X11/rgb'." It says
this regardless of what 'rgbpath' is in Xconfig. I tried:
rgbpath "/usr/X386/lib/X11/rgb.txt"
and
rgbpath "/home/ljb/rgb.txt"
It made no difference if the file was there or not, and it didn't change the
error message at all.
It seems that 'rgbpath' is totally ignored all the time. I have not been
able to (in any cirumstances) been able to change the behavior of anything
by changing rgbpath. If I start an X server and then staer two more they
come op in black and white. If I terminate the first X server and then start
another, it works perfectly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Larry
