After wrestling with the nvidia driver (see the thread entitled
"Nvidia MX 4000 card locking up on FC5 as updated"), I now find I
can't launch some programs. I get error messages like so:
--------------------------------------------------
[ccurley at charlesc ~]$ emacs &
[1] 4737
[ccurley at charlesc ~]$ Undefined color: "black"
[1]+ Exit 255 emacs
[ccurley at charlesc ~]$ xmutt &
[1] 4741
[ccurley at charlesc ~]$ Warning: Color name "black" is not defined
xterm: Cannot allocate color cyan
xterm: Cannot allocate color black
xterm: Cannot allocate color yellow3
xterm: Cannot allocate color blue2
xterm: Cannot allocate color yellow
xterm: Cannot allocate color red3
xterm: Cannot allocate color magenta
[1]+ Done xmutt
--------------------------------------------------
I can launch the same apps sucessfully over an SSH login.
I do not see anything that jumps out at me in the logs or config file.
I don't think I've tried to launch a program in X on that machine
since that thread, so this may be a continuation. Sigh.
