Opera: ZPixmap not supportet in 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope

Tips for how to correct the ZPixmap – problem in Opera (and probably a few other program as well):

According to some guy at Blogspot it is an issue with the Intel driver. He did post the issue before Ubuntu 8.10, but it is still not fixed (as of 9.04).

If you got the problem on your computer (with an Intel graphics card) you’ll see the message ZPixmap not supported when running Opera from console. The fix is simple: Just add the line Option “AccelMethod” “XAA” in the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, as the last element in the “Device” section. Reboot to ensure that the drivers are loaded as they should, and you’re up and running.
