Re: X colors broken after upgrade

[Christian Hammers <ch@westend.com>]

Hi

This features is broken on my screen:
	xeniac:/etc/X11/app-defaults# xterm
	xterm: Cannot allocate color rgbi:0.2/0.2/1.0
This error appears when it first tries to e.g. list a directory where I 
use blue color for. When I exchange this string by "blue" it works.

Maybe you should fine tune the rgb values so that they work on 16bit 
screens, too. Assuming that every user has 24bit nowadays or that every
user first must adjust this config file before the output is reasonable
is not good.

Feel free to mail me if you need someone to test.
