The XQuartz project is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.Org X Window System that runs on macOS. Together with supporting libraries and applications, it forms the X11.app that Apple shipped with OS X versions 10.5 through 10.7.
Follow me!my Amazon Storefront!https://www.amazon.com/sh. This goes for all games, including real-time strategy games and entire genres of games you wouldn’t necessarily think to play with on a controller. From the game’s menu in Steam’s Big Picture mode, simply click “Manage Game,” and then in “Controller Options,” make sure it’s set to the “Forced On” option.

Important Info for 10.5 Users
OS X Software Updates have included some of the work done by the XQuartz project, but for various reasons, Apple cannot ship the latest and greatest version offered by the XQuartz site. Since the XQuartz X11 package clobbers Apple's X11.app, their software update will clobber the XQuartz X11 package. Because of this, you may experience conflicts after doing a Software Update from Apple. Please re-install the latest XQuartz X11 release for Leopard after installing a system software update to OS X 10.5.x Leopard.
License Info
An XQuartz installation consists of many individual pieces of software which have various licenses. The X.Org software components’ licenses are discussed on theX.Org Foundation Licenses page.The quartz-wm window manager included with the XQuartz distribution uses the Apple Public Source License Version 2.

Thank you for your advice.
Here is the detailed procedure of how I get stuck when I try to run a game 'The Settlers: Rise of an Empire Gold Edition' with Steam for Windows.
1. Run Steam using POM.
2. Install and run the game.
3. Ask me to allow to change screen resolution, and I allow. (RandR mode)
4a. Screen goes black and there's no sound.
4b. Screen goes black and sounds seems to be played normal.
(either 4a or 4b happens randomly as I try, but mostly 4a happens)
5a. If I press any key, it beeps and nothing seems to work in any way.
5b. Pressing key seems to skip an opening movie of the game.
(4a is followed by 5a, and 4b is followed by 5b)
6. Press Cmd+Opt+A to restore the screen resolution.
7a. There is no game screen. Only Steam and POM are running. No mouse cursor.
7b. There is a letterboxed white blank screen.
(either 7a or 7b happens randomly as I try, but mostly 7a happens)
8. Press Cmd+Q to exit the game and Steam.
9. An error dialog box appears as I mentioned my second post.
I tried to capture the debugger log and here it is:
('run Steam -> run The Settlers -> quit' following all 'a courses' mentioned above)

I asked to install the XQuarts or X-something when installing POM, and I think the installation process was just good.
Maybe I need to try reinstalling POM after posting this.
Thank you and let me know if you need anything else I didn't write so far.
