If Wine is running it correctly through the local screen & keyboard on the Linux box, try running an X-server under Windows. Both paid-for: Exceed http://connectivity.opentext.com/products/exceed-products.aspx and OSS: Cygwin/X http://x.cygwin.com Xming http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ XWinLogon http://www.calcmaster.net/visual-c++/xwinlogon/ are available. I've used Exceed, though quite a while ago, and haven't used any of the others, but I can say that Cygwin is generally well regarded - at least its tool kit for providing a Unix/Linux shell and programs on a Windows box is. Think of Cygwin as Wine in reverse. Martin > Code: > Ubuntu-1104-natty-64-minimal:~$ wine > Warning: there are some errors in winediag output.
