Ubuntu IEs4Linux Installation

IEs4Linux is good. I used to access OWA(outlook web access) with Firefox, but OWA provides a very poor UI for browsers other than IE. I tried to provide a faked Agent field, but the page is incompatible with Firefox.

So, I tried IEs4Linux, and got IE 6 works with Ubuntu and OWA now. But I did found some issues during the installation.

* Corrupted DCOM98.EXE. Solution:


./ies4linux --no-gui

* swflash.cab: no valid cabinets found. Solution: download http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0 manually, place the file in ~/.ies4linux/downloads, and install it again.

Update: Beautifying Chinese fonts for Wine.

Multiple Keys Wireless Mouse for X Windows

I bought a Rapoo 7100 wireless mouse weeks ago. It works with Ubuntu without changes of settings. But the multiple keys at left side act as right key and middle key. I tried ZAxisMapping of xorg.conf and xmodmap but it doesn't help. So, I found evdev.

Following are some configuration files I used:

/etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-x11-input.fdi for enabling hal for evdev:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
  <device>
    <!-- FIXME: Support tablets too. -->
    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.mouse">
      <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">mouse</merge>
      <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
             string="Linux">
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
      </match>
    </match>

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">
      <!-- If we're using Linux, we use evdev by default (falling back to
           keyboard otherwise). -->
      <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">keyboard</merge>
      <match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name"
             string="Linux">
        <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">evdev</merge>
      </match>
    </match>
  </device>
</deviceinfo>

Disable other input devices for xorg in xorg.conf:
