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.
