Just wanted to mention that Flash works fine for me with native Opera and the
opera-linuxplugins port.
So did you install linux-Opera from the port? I haven't run linux-Opera on FreeBSD in a while (I
run it in Linux:), so I don't recall - is the binary called "opera" or
"linux-opera"?

I always start x as user. I learned early on not to make the
mistake of starting X as root. I use Fluxbox with X, and had a
terminal window open there with root invoked for that window. That's
when I first tried to open linux-opera. Naturally, it
opened fine, but will not open if I try to do the same thing from
a terminal window as user. I would like to set up Opera to open
from the Fluxbox menu, but in order for that to happen the program
needs to be opened as user, which is just what I can't do.
I'm not an opera user so maybe there's a reason I'm not aware of, but why are
you using linux-opera and not the native version?
You can try to run it under truss(1) to see if that gives any clues as where
it's failing.
The reason that I installed linux-opera, as opposed to the native version, is
that all of the linux plugins seem to work quite well with this version.
Flash, for example, works beautifully, which is something that I have never had
success using with any other browser and FreeBSD.

I installed the program from the ports. And, yes, the binary is called
linux-opera. If I can't figure out why the program refuses to open as
user I will probably do a pkg_delete and start over, especially since
you seem to have the plug-ins working fine with the native program.
