wine users - Dec 2009 - Can't load GDI from background service

I am running a win32 application that has a graphics and command line mode; I
use the command line mode.  When I login and run from a terminal, it works fine
under Wine, but when I run it as a service via a script in /etc/init.d, it
fails.  I have it set up so the service runs as my account, not root.

It gives the following messages:

Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.

err:wgl:process_attach X11DRV or GDI32 not loaded. Cannot create default

Is there a way to make this work?

Thanks!

A lot of windows programs which have a command line version perform graphical
operations using gdi32 / user32 which requires an X server. In your case it
seems your app requires opengl (else it wouldn't load opengl32.dll).
