Thanks Ken, So what do other people do when they need to use ActiveX? Is there any work arounds etc?
Hmmm, its interesting as before now (as I use server, desktop and laptop builds) I couldn't see what was stopping businesses using Linux on their desktops but as there are about 5 internal sites (such as our Helpdesk tool, Cisco Call Manager) which are needed on a daily basis I guess the 'little' things are pretty large obstacles. I guess hopefully in the future such tools will be obsolete as people code for Firefox and IE (without Active X) Cheers, Jason -----Original Message----- From: Ken [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 14 June 2007 3:01 p.m. To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Gentoo in the workplace -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Sartorelli, Jason wrote: > Hi there, > This is possibly already answered elsewhere, however I've trolled through > google to no avail. > I've upgraded my work machine from a Windows 2000 machine to Gentoo (running > on a Dell GX520) with VMware running XP, Vista, 2000. > > Most things run fine, but unfortunately I've had a few problems with things > such as Active X pages (i.e. Cisco Call Manager, Infra, etc). > > I've tried using wine (version 0.9.29) and installing IE however I couldn't > find the full installer and we use a proxy here (the installer craps out when > trying to set it up within the installer) > So I installed ieslinux and tried that - it seems to work and lets me load > some pages however they don't all load correctly... infect the majority > don't... > So I unmasked wine with the x86 keyword and tried both options again with the > same results for the first option and ieslinux getting to the same place and > stopping (but with text visibility bugs) and so I've now reverted back to > wine 0.9.29 and am officially stuck. > Firefox doesn't seem to support Active X at all, however there was a plugin > for v1.5 which I tried and didn't have any luck with. > > I've heard you can copy across a entire system32 folder and get wine working > better, is this true? > I'm a member of transgaming (Cedega) is this worth trying?

I don't believe the devs plan to support it either. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGcK9n0PM4px2/kjgRAgoUAKCBu0JbNQ4oYBLs+INNPoZB2vovmQCfeyFf TOgGKyRq5rxifF4TOPBzvYA= =acRY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
