Ah, one I _can_ handle. You should have a file "rgb.txt" in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb.txt -- I did a recent install, and it was part of
that package, so its likely the file was accidentally overwritten or
munged. That is where the color conversion from text to rgb code comes
from. Check protection, existence, etc.
If your copy is missing, you can get a copy of mine from
ftp://altair.stmarys-ca.edu/pub/rgb.txt (or
http://altair.stmarys-ca.edu/pub/rgb.txt).
