I think this is a specific case of a general problem, which is that xhextris won't work on a non-local X display. The game uses a special font to draw the pieces. When you install the package it installs the font, but this installs the font on the *client* when it ought to be installed on the *server*. I think that in the general case installing on the server is impossible, and the game really ought to be rewritten to use normal X drawing requests rather than playing silly games with fonts. However, I'm not going to do this myself :-> Peter Maydell
