I tried commenting out the lines as outlined here: http://my.opera.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=6395 but to no avail in my case I'm afraid. I can avoid seg faults and the resulting crash in my situation, but I would like to know what is causing them. All I have to do to get Opera to seg fault and crash is to open the browser set to my home page of google.com, and then close the page with the close button. That causes Opera to immediately seg fault and crash! I don't have any other crashes in normal use. It's pretty strange. Also, I cannot get Opera 6.1 shared qt to display flash. I can get the static qt version to use flash however. :-/ I also have font problems with the static version, so I am presently using the shared qt. Great fonts. I posted these problems on the opera-linux list, but have not had any forthcoming solutions. Apparently the flash thing is due to an Opera glitch in the shared qt version I'm using. Opera people tell me they can't reproduce the seg faulting that I'm noting. I agree with your observations as to Opera should get their manure straightened out if they want to retain the Linux community. Having said that though, I must add that in spite of the problems, I'm still using Opera. I am on a dialup, and Opera is just plain a lot faster than any other browser I've tried thus far. And it has a bunch of great features too. I got hooked on Opera under MS, and just continue with it under Linux. If it would only perform as good w/Linux as it does w/MS....... Maybe the next release? All the best. :-) --Angus "An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing." -- _______________________________________________ Get your free email from http://mymail.operamail.com Powered by Outblaze
