There's no easy fix. The only way I could get SWflash 
to work was by doing a complete upgrade of the X libraries.  
However, that killed all the libc5 X binaries, including 
xinit (startx).  So anybody wanting SWflash on BL3 needs 
to upgrade both the X libraries and the X binaries (in
addition to the glibc2 upgrade from Slackware 9.0).
That's a major hassle.  

I'm not going to worry about this.  Since Opera itself
runs quite happily of the old X libraries, I'm happy.
Besides, most SWflash routines are huge resource hogs 
and not suitable for old PCs. 

Cheers,
