Installing opera 10.10.4742 changed DirectX such that videoredo (in wine) can no longer display video (it also uses DirectX).

I personally use Opera as I truly believe that it is a leader in terms of web standards and web functionality. all the built-in features that are already there without the need to search for and install dodgy 3rd-party add-ons are nice. I use most (if not all) of the built-in functions including Mail, RSS, BitTorrent and Opera Link Bookmarks Synchroniser. Opera has truly overtaken firefox in terms of trailblazing. it was the first browser to have built-in mail, built-in BitTorrent and built-in RSS functions. the caching and memory management are also very advanced. the security is perhaps superior to Firefox, but the only negative thing is that it is not free software, meaning the test base is not able to access the code. however, the test base is very large and bugs do get fixed very quickly. generally Opera users are the most passionate web users out there. I also greatly appreciate the products Opera Mini and Opera Mobile and how compatible and flexible they are, very similar to the Linux kernel, as they can be run from mobile phones to TV’s to the Wii to the DSi to anything.

I like the opera due to
1. The tab bar at the top and
2. Quick dial.

I like it more, if the users having the options to customize where the address bar/tab located in the browser.

I very much liked to have the address bar at the bottom of the browser. Is it possible to have a customize options as far as browser is concerned.

I have the partners link in my sources.list, but can’t find opera in aptitude.

I downloaded the opera deb from the Opera download site, then used

sudo dpkg -i –force-architecture

But, when I try to run it, I get this message:

$ opera
exec: 264: /usr/lib/opera/9.24-20071015.6/opera: not found

Are there some libraries that I need to install? I notice, in aptitude, that there are some ia32-libs* packages. Do I need one of these? Which one?
