Wine can't find display unless root
by carcamal from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VS31)
I am doing a manual install of linux inside a virtualbox. I installed Xorg and had to suid it root in order to allow it open the system terminals (vt's)
I can open Xeyes, but when I open wine it can't find the display unless I run it via sudo, wich is *extremely* dangerous. The $DISPLAY variable is correctly set.
I think the problem with wine comes from the problem with suid Xorg.
I'm using the vmware virtualbox provided debian, and I have had many trouble with permissions (non-existing groups, initial user not member of sudoers, etc).
