Debian definatly do not use this module and I find it's one thing I really miss when using a debian desktop. I tend to ssh -X root(a)localhost on a debian box if I want to keep the authority and display working correctly. The xauth module seems to tidy this up somewhat.
Alternatively; you can just run "xhost +" from an xterm, then log in as root and "export DISPLAY=:0" before running the installer. .. unless your machine is on a 'hostile' network and/or you have untrusted local users .. --- This email has been sent on 100% RECYCLED electrons!
