Hi,

LINE doesn't have an X-Server built in, and LINE can't run a Linux
X-Server yet (and probably never).  You'll need to either find a Windows
X-Server or maybe use a Linux X-Server on your network somewhere.

Note that unless you've copied over all the libnss*.so shared objects from
Linux, you won't have DNS so you'll have to specify the X-Server by IP
address.  I'd recommmend using just IP addresses anyways, at least until
you are sure it's working.
