Dear Maintainer,
When I start it from the terminal it crashes. See attached document. This has
been the case since I installed trixie. Today I also downloaded the version in
of xgammon available in sid, and after removing xgammon from the system, I
continued to install the sid version with "sudo dpkg -i
xgammon_0.99.1128-11_amd64.deb" with the same result.

This is what happens:
arc@my-machine:~$ xgammon
endgame database not found
you should create one
boardsize should at least be 150x120 pixel
geometry values changed
