Hello, I can confirm this issue in the latest Debian stable (13). I can reproduce it. Debian 13, XFCE4, no wayland. Created ~/.xgammon myself but still get this "endgame database not found" error, beside the "BadCursor (invalid Cursor parameter)" error. It seems the software does not provide debug output. Regards, Christian
Hi, it seems I can provide a hot trail but without understanding all details or packaging implications. The problem is kind of described in the README file. https://sources.debian.org/src/xgammon/0.99.1128-11/doc/README It seems the xgammon.ad file is "missing" in the system. But it is present in the package source. https://sources.debian.org/src/xgammon/0.99.1128-11/src/xgammon.ad 1. Download that file. 2. xrdb -merge xgammon.ad 3. xgammon should work then. I don't understand why that file is not in the binary package. https://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/xgammon/filelist Regards, Christian
