[X_shadow_X]

Hello

I have installed Gentoo 1.4, use kde.
I installed tuxracer
emerge -k tuxracer
Once I readed something, that I must to add something to users that they could play games
Now only with root i can acces to the /usr/games/bin/tuxracer
then i try to run it I get this message.
bash-2.05b# /usr/games/bin/tuxracer

Could it be that the problem is with my XF86config file, because i configured it with XF86config and skiped few places.

did you log in graphically as root or did you 'su -', because ive found that graphical application, like games wont run if root is calling them from within a normal users session

perhaps youre write, but how to run game.
I cant start it by typing
bash-2.05b$ tuxracer
bash: tuxracer: command not found
Simple users can't acces to the /usr/games/
I don't want to login as root

add your user to the games group

as root type in xhost +

I dont know what it is, but I had the same problem and that seemed to work for me.

that allows any and all hosts and users to connect to your X server. you should never do that command.

if you must do it, then use "xhost +localhost" or if you are allowing a remote host "xhost +remotehost.remotedomain.com"
