      Xtool kit warning: Cannot allocate colormap entry for "black"
    
      What I did prior to open this new window was that I added some
      more line to rgb.txt in /usr/lib/X11.  I just wonder do I need
      to do anything else ?

You don't say what version of X you are using, so I'll assume X11R4.
(One should ALWAYS give this information when asking for help.)

You didn't update the "compiled" version of the database, rgb.pag and
rgb.dir.  The best way to do this is to go to the source directory for
rgb.txt, mit/rgb, and edit the file there.  Then do "make install" and
restart your server.
