9.24 would probably have worked the same.  You don't need to run 
install.sh.  You can run them from a wrapper in the directory they 
unpackage to, choosing which version you want to use.

"Locales not supported on X server" is normal for BL with Xvesa and opera.

> Call to XQueryColors() failed.

What does 'Xvesa -listmodes' tell you? 
Can you view a photo with xli in proper colors?
Do you know your video chip?

With Xvesa -screen 640x480x1 (mono) Opera 9.23 still loads without any 
complaints about querycolors (BL2).
