hi, me again

i did some more investigation on this issue, and i found out sth which 
perhaps can be very usefull.
first, here is a part of the /var/log/Xorg.0.log, which is realted to 
the rgb.txt:


(==) RgbPath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
(==) ModulePath set to "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
(II) Open ACPI successful (/var/run/acpid.socket)
Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
(II) Module ABI versions:


but now comes the more interesting thing:

nowhiskey@murija2:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11$ ls
app-defaults  getconfig  Options    twm          xinit      xserver
Cards         icons      proxymngr  x11perfcomp  xkb        xsm
config        lbxproxy   rgb.txt    xedit        XKeysymDB
fonts         locale     rstart     XErrorDB     xman.help
nowhiskey@murija2:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11$

now, copying and pasting this, i can read "rgb.txt" but on my console, 
there is only a black line on that place and you cannot read the ls 
entry rgb.txt!

does somebody understand, it is not easy to describe, but there is 
proxymngr, than it comes a thick black line underneath and than it is 
readibel agai-rstart!

typing:

murija2:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11# cd rgb.txt
bash: cd: rgb.txt: Zu viele Ebenen aus symbolischen Links
murija2:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11#

that means sth like " too much layers of symbolical links"

entering rgb.txt with joe, i get an "error reading file" message.

so this is what i found out about this issue, if someone have any 
subgestion how to solve this problem, please response.

regards,
doc
