Can't remember, but my gut feeling is 'no'.
Then it's really off-topic then. If you'd be willing to give me a regular clean user ssh account on that machine, I can try and figure things out. Just make the /var/log/*X* and /var/log/*x.org* readable by that user, and make /etc/X11/* writable. We can agree on some time so that I can open a text chat session to you and you could restart X as necessary. Just make sure you have nchat (or similar text chat) installed.
Besides, it may be something as simple as not having your windowing environment properly set up, as opposed to there being anything wrong with X server itself. Likely the window manager and the environment from xfce, kde or gnome doesn't start up.
Let me know off-list if you want to get it fixed.
Since it's ridiculous to get wine involved in your system's obious misconfiguration, I'm willing to fix it for you. In fact I only feel like doing it for you because it's so ridiculous to drag this problem onto this list as to be funny in an obscene way, if you get my idea ;)
