Hello,
is it possible to use wine in a telnet session to start a (command line) windows application? I get the error that x11drv can't connect to a display (which is correct). I'm also not very sure that the windows program itself does not perform some graphic related queries (there were some fixme messages when I tried to use 'ttydrv'). Any ideas? Is there any workaround to use a dummy display or whatever?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi
I just tested running some command line apps using wine from an ssh connection without X11 and they worked fine... but some report the error you said (e.g. python.exe). Not sure what the difference is. There is an alternate graphics driver called "ttydrv" (instead of "x11drv") which you can use to run command line programs. This is configured in the ~/.wine/config file - change GraphicsDriver from "x11drv" to "ttydrv". You might want to give this a go, although it just seems to produce errors for me :-). What program are you trying to run?

I think he did try using ttydrv, as he says in his original email:
(there were some fixme messages when I tried to use 'ttydrv').
So I dunno.

Aaah. I see. I should read messages before replying in future.
