"Absolutely nothing?"  As in completely black?  Or a mess of something
that is probably triangles, possibly filled with odd patterns?

That would be a 7300 or 7600, I guess.  Do you know how much graphics
memory that card has?

I think we have a serious problem with not properly detecting when hw
rendering breaks down.  We need to do something about that.  My
immediate feeling is that we are probably using too much graphics
memory, but that is just a wild guess.

To just get opera to work, the '-nohwaccel' parameter should do the
trick, by turning off the hw acceleration support.  (Just in case you
didn't know.)
