Problems with x11drv_main.c version 1.83

[Sami Aario]

Hi list,

Version 1.83 of dlls/x11drv/x11drv_main.c does not work for me. This patch
removes
the Display option in the config file, and now I get this error message:
"x11drv: Can't
open display: " (and no display name given). I've had to revert to version
1.81.

Is the display name supposed to be given somewhere else (e.g. the registry)
or are
things supposed to happen automagically?

My system is a debian woody, and XFree86 -version reports 4.1.0.1.

Normally apps take the value of the DISPLAY environment variable. If
that isn't set from within X your system is hosed, no two ways about
it...

Is it possible that your DISPLAY environment variable is not set? What 
do you get when you do (in the shell) "echo $DISPLAY"?

I get an empty string. So DISPLAY is not set... A platform dependent thing?

No, I don't think it is. X applications (and that's what Wine is) get 
the display to you from the DISPLAY environment variables. Does other X 
applications work for you? Are you running an X server at all? What did 
the "display" option in your config file used to say?

Try setting the DISPLAY environment variable to the same value, and see 
if that solves your problem. Again, I'm suprised that other X 
application do not exhibit the same problem on your setup.

Oh, to answer your questions, yes (though I haven't tried launching from the
console), yes, and "Display" = ":0.0".
