Hi,

slightly OT, but having problems running Wine through ssh (Putty). I have a gameserver running DSL. The server is administered remotely through sshd, which works perfectly. The server program is Windows based (sigh), so I have to run it on Wine.  I can run the program in Wine without problems locally from the DSL computer, but if I try to run it remotely through ssh I get the following error:

wine: Could not load graphics driver x11drv.
Make sure that your Xserver is running and that $Display is set correctly.
Wine failed with return code 1.

I suppose  the problem is somehow related to Wine not knowing how to display the graphics through ssh (terminal). Does someone know how to run graphical applications in Wine through terminal?

Why not use VNCserver and VNCviewer through an ssh tunnel?

This way, you will actually be running the application on the local Xserver and not attempting a remote X connection.

Kinda like running the "PC Anywhere" program in the Windows world.

Thanks for the info :D I chose the sshd and terminal, because they need very little resources. My server is actually a 466 Mhz laptop, so very light apps only... Could you please give me some advice how to try that vnc-thingy out. And how do I actually run that through ssh?
