Thanks for your reply. I'm looking to re-configure this new installation to be 100% headless without X11Forwarding or X-Windows of any sort... Why?!?! I'm running software fulfillment processes from a CRON process that needs to execute a WinAPI32-bit console-mode program in order to generate license-codes that are based from a random() number generator that is unique to a dos compiler/linker. The console-mode program does not use any window-handles and is 100% console. It just executes a function() that generates a license from it's rand() and then outputs the results to a file. This file is then read() by a linux program to get the results and then pass it to other parts of the system. So there's ZERO need for interactivity or windowing. So, I'm looking for that NULL-DRIVER, WINETTY, TTY, etc.. that will allow me to run the equiv of wineconsole.
