Flash plugin with opera or linux-opera on 7.0-Release

[Oliver Fromme]

Hi,

Has anybody successfully used the flash plugin with Opera
on FreeBSD 7.0-Release?  If so -- how?

I upgraded my notebook from an oldish 6-stable to 7.0,
and I have to admit that I'm beginning to regret it,
because several important things don't work anymore.

I tried the native opera, but when I start it, it opens
a pop-up window saying the there was some problem starting
the operapluginwrapper.  I tried hunting it down with
ktrace, but without success.

Then I tried to install linux-opera.  At least it finds
the plugin, but when it tries to run it I get an X11 error
on stdout:  "BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)",
and opera prints "Plug-in 18299 is not responding. It will
be closed."

Of course it _did_ work fine before the upgrade.  I have
rebuilt all ports after the upgrade, so everything should
be up-to-date.

Does someone have an idea how to get this working?
Otherwise I'll have to downgrade to FreeBSD 6, which
means more wasted time.  :-(

Best regards
   Oliver
