XGL and OpenGL Games

Hi

ok we all know that opengl games don´t run with XGL.
XGL running on :1
So I tried the suggested workaround. starting a new xserver with quake4.

xinit -e quake4 -- :0 -ac

but this doesn´t work as user. I get this

_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/T1000:2
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6

When I start xterm with 

xinit -e xterm -- :0 -ac

as root and then su mic && quake4 it works perfectly.
How can I fix this?

thanks
mic

ok I got it:

maybe not the best way, but it works.
copy from your root folder

cp .Xauthority /home/mic/
cp .xinitrc /home/mic/

and then start the games:

xinit -e quake4 -- :0 -ac -br

Now you can play games with xgl

Nice, I have yet to try xgl though... I'm not really much of a fan of it yet though. Eyecandy just isn't my thing anymore, It was when I first moved to linux. Now Simplicity all the way
