Hany anyone succeeded in running wine on Macbook Air M1 (Big Sur 11.4) on an external monitor? Mine is blacked out, and I only can run EVE on the Retina.

I do it all the time - just make the external monitor your “main” monitor. You can do this by going to the Arrangement tab of the Displays system preference, then moving the little white menu bar from the representation of your MacBook display to the representation of your external monitor.
