Narrative:
As we taxied into position and hold on runway 18L; our departure route was not displayed on the mfd. We quickly reloaded the NELYN2.sat transition. Apparently; runway 17R (#2 in the FMS list) instead of runway 18L (#3 on the FMS list); was input into the FMS. On departure; we noticed something was not quite right. We flew runway heading and drifted east of course; due to the southwest winds. ATC inquired about our course as we were figuring out the problem. We requested and received clearance direct nelyn intersection. Upon landing; we contacted dfw ATC and discussed the possible deviation. We were assured by the dfw ATC supervisor that at no time was there a loss of separation with any other aircraft.
