Hello List,
I have to report the fact that if using Xgl+compiz I can't start pd anymore, I get this error:
Application initialization failed: this isn't a Tk applicationunknown color name "Black"
and I can only CTRL+C.
my system is Ubuntu dapper on a hp nx6110 laptop
I have filed this as a bug: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/33607
any clue? anything I can do to dig further?
ciao, Davide.

your default RGB colors arent getting defined. i guess nobody uses these anymore besides Tk. what you need is to point your x server to rgb.txt (its path changed from xorg 6.8->7.0 i think)
and I can only CTRL+C.

thank you for your hint!
I'm trying but I can't figure out how "to point my x server to rgb.txt"
what do you mean?

I'm trying but I can't figure out how "to point my x server to rgb.txt"
in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Files" RgbPath "/usr/share/X11/rgb" EndSection
should fix it (locate rgb.txt first, and note theres no '.txt' in rgbpath). i had the same problem (pd wouldn't start due to missing color) after upgrading xorg but keeping the old conf file which had a bad path to the rgb file, but who knows, maybe your problem has a different source (really outside of pd or tk's ballpark either way)

I found out that Xgl on ubuntu is currently misconfigured and looks for rbg.txt in /usr/share/X11 instead of /etc/X11
so I created a symlink and now pd works!
thank you for your help!
