Hi!
I found that some games such as Plane Shift do not run on my computer. I made some search in the Web and found that I need execute the following command before the start of X server: xhost +localhost The was an advice regarding Quake 3 though. This worked well and I filed a bugreport asking to include this command in startup scripts: http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=561074
The bugreport was closed and I was redirected to this mailing list because I allegedly incorrectly installed the system (this is a fresh install about a week ago).
IMHO all programs should be able and should use the X authority that is that ``xhost +localhost'' should be stay a nogo. You may check your environment e.g. echo $XAUTHORITY xauth list and maybe read the manual page about xauth (man 1 xauth). If your program is not able to use X authority then it is IMHO buggy and you may report it upstream.
