Ron is right.  SWflash is not working for Opera.
I've just installed BL3 and Opera from scratch and
the SWflash plug-in does not work.  Apparently the
libc5 version of libX11.so.6 is not sufficient.

The reason SWflash worked for me was because my computer 
does not like Xvesa, so I run the Mach64 Xserver (and
glibc2 Xlibs) from Slackware 7.1.  That's why SWflash 
worked for me -- my libX11.so.6 was different.  Sorry 
about the confusion.

So, we can run Opera on BL3 with libc5 X-libraries (which
was actually a bit of a surprise); however, if you want to 
run SWflash, you need to upgrade to glibc2 X-libraries.

Cheers,
Steven
