Centos 7 - Driver to run the Wine emulator

[Giannis]

I have a version of CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core) and I need to run the Wine emulator. For this purpose I need a driver to install for visualization. Unfortunately new drivers are incompatible. The concrete controller specification is:
root@estert ~]# sudo lshw -class display
*-display
description: VGA compatible controller
physical id: 2
bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0
version: 02

[root@estert ~]# lshw -numeric -C display

[root@estert ~]#

The Wine error protocol (i have X server running and $DISPLAY 0 all ok):
0098:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
0098:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow L"The explorer process failed to start."
0098:err:systray:initialize_systray Could not create tray window
0110:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
0110:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow L"Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly."


What can I do to run Wine (if it is possible)?

[TrevorH]

You're running as root and it has no $DISPLAY set. If you use sudo to become root it deliberately removes $DISPLAY from teh things passed to the new root environment variables. This is why you see

[root@estert ~]# xrandr --verbose --properties
Can't open display

[Giannis]

Thanks a lot TrevorH. I had set the DISPLAY=:0.0 and this my output:

I have started wine64 (winecfg) from another user as root but the same problem Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded

[Giannis]

I have switch to another user "su giannis" and set
xhost -SI:localuser:giannis
ssh giannis@estert -X
ssh giannis@estert -Y
export DISPLAY=:0
and voila the error "could not load driver" is gone. Check with xrandr --verbose --properties and i have the same output as root. All seems to be ok!
But wine (winecfg) still crashes without any errors! Any ideas?

[Giannis]

I have used putty with xming and wine is still not working. Then i have used MobaXTerm for the SSH connection and all ok! Thank you.
