I was referring to games that require a local X server, which is pretty |
| 21 |
much all of the binary games, especially OpenGL-based ones. For |
| 22 |
anything non-OpenGL or source-based, the dependencies would be explicit |
| 23 |
on the libraries needed. |

Now, if any of you have some secret that allows games like Enemy |
| 26 |
Territory to display to a remote machine, I'd love to hear them. |
