check this line of xorg.conf

RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib64/X11/rgb"

make sure its pointing to the rgb.txt file , dont add .txt to the line, im using amd64 so yours may differ. there is a post somewhere on the forums with the same problem.

I think that most things at /usr/X11R6/lib went to /usr/lib

Check it out.

I'm using tightvnc and it looks like the location of rgb.txt is important

I found http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=90751&page=2

and added the symlinks one by one until it got fixed -

After upgrading to version 7.0 of X11, my rgb.txt seems to be located in /usr/share/X11.

At least for me, that's the only rgb.txt locate could find and it fixes Emacs' complaints.

Just FYI.
