...xephyr runs xserver on top of xserver and nothing else. so basically, run multiple linux graphical interfaces on top of each other. its not an emulation or virtualization. look up virtualbox and you'll find your answer

I am wondering this as well... really would like to get game running in a Xephyr session

I do not think Xephyr supports 3d

There is an old blog on this :

Not sure if that works or not.

Why so difficult?

$ echo 'xterm' > .xinitrc
$ xinit -- `which Xephyr` :1

should do.
