Command line and X server

Hello,

I have a program I want to run using wine. The program allows for command line input, but also allows for gui interaction. When trying to use the command line option with wine, I find that the X server needs to be running. Is there any way I can get around this requirement? In the end, I want to be able to call a cgi script that then interacts with this program. In my testing, the x server requirement does not allow me to interact with this program using a cgi script.

Thanks

Use a virtual X server.
