At my office I have a Cygwin/Xfree86 distro to connect internet. Since I don't have admin pssword I installed Gobo Rootless. All of my needs are satisfied except internet explorer. I need it for my web site tests unfortunately. After a quick search I realized that the easiest way is to install ies4linux. And after a successfull wine installation and cabextract compilation I tried to run ./ies4linux command. It first gave a warning saying "Xlib: extension "XInputExtension" missing on display "172.17.40.33:0.0".
Failed to get list of devices". However the UI for installation was displayed. Then when I hit the OK button I got several messageboxes saying "Error in widget ok. Unknown widget function checked ". I clicked OK each time I see this messagebox because it was the only option. Then in the terminal I read the same warning above (xlib thing) again. Below is the copy paste of ies4linux installation GUI.

I believe a big fact is smiling somewhere there but I cannot see it, maybe you experts can see it and tell me what to do? Any help is appreciated...

Posted By: m@cCoMmm, maybe the "unknow terminal xterm", "no ie6/5/... found" has something to do with your issue? Also the XInputExtension could have a part in it.
Everything else seems to be ok, as far as I can see.

I compiled Xterm and problem still stands.

I couldn't find any source, package or recipe for XInputExtension. I just assume that it has something to do with X11 or Xorg. There might be some config files I can manipulate to activate this XInputExtension thing, but I'm just guessing as I said. Googling these guesses doesn't give anything helpfull btw.
