Ok, the Opera 7.54 binary has ~17000 sections. For some reason it dumps 
core when showing the main GUI, the 8.0 Beta sort of works, but all the 
graphics are badly distorted.

So this begs a few questions about Solaris compatibility:
Does networking actually work? Solaris' ftp crashes on startup and 
Opera doesn't even attempt to connect to anything.
Communication with the Xserver seems flaky at least - some simple 
things like xterm works, but Opera... well, primitives like lines, 
rectangles and text are mostly ok, but everything that involves 
(rendering) graphics looks totally wrong. I'm not sure what could be 
the cause, it tried to load librender.so, maybe it got the NetBSD lib - 
I'm pretty sure Sun's Xserver doesn't have XRender.
Then I tried to run it chroot'ed to /emul/svr4_32 but then it couldn't 
connect to the Xserver, not even when I set DISPLAY to 127.0.0.1:0.0 so 
I guess sockets don't work properly for some reason.
Are these known problems or am I missing something?

have fun
Michael
