           Summary: SRCDS - Console only
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: kernel32
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: laurikoivunen at hotmail.com


While using SRCDS (valve's Source Dedicated Server) over wine you are required
to use X even if one issues -console in the program parameters (will launch a
wine console). This is extremely frustrating because then you also need to use
X to even see something on the console window.

I found a workaround. 
Hack kernel32's AllocConsole to just return true and make something like this
with GetNumberOfConsoleInputEvents:
================
BOOL WINAPI GetNumberOfConsoleInputEvents( HANDLE handle, LPDWORD nrofevents )
{
        if (nrofevents) *nrofevents = 0;
        return TRUE;
}
================


.. and issue export DISPLAY=''

This will allow running the server in console only mode but this naturally
disables text input. My C skills are nonexistent so I am asking here if a wine
developer could make this work.
