wine users - Aug 2009 - Running a Windows dedicated server with Wine through ssh

I want to use Wine to run a dedicated server. The dedicated server uses a config
file and is completely invisible; the dedicated server doesn't try to open
any windows and simply runs in the background. When I try to run it, Wine gives
an error stating that the application tried to create a Window and tells me to
make sure my X server is running and that $DISPLAY is correct.

The dedicated server does not try to open a window so why am I getting this
error? Can the dedicated server be ran without an X server?

I'm looking for the simplest solution here. If I need an X server, what is a
good one and how do I install it? Secondly, what command (with parameters)
should be using to run my dedicated server appropriately.

OS: CentOS 5.2 64Bit

I'm currently attempting to run the dedicated server with:
wine lfs.exe /cfg=setup.exe

and I've also tried: 
wineconsole lfs.exe /cfg=setup.exe

Both give the same error mentioned above.

I do not know the difference between running wine or wineconsole.

Thanks in advance!

Wine needs X11 running in order to start.  No X11, no Wine processes.

Are you trying to run a text based program?  You might be better off
with other products.

It isn't a text based program, it is a dedicated server for a game (a host
so that people can connect to it and play together).

What's the easier way to install the latest version of X11?

And command should I use to run my application with Wine? 

Thanks in advance.

on Solaris, I usually use an X virtual frame buffer for situations when X is
required by certain dependent libraries, but not necessarily for the task at
hand.  I haven't tried that on linux and therefore not with wine.
