Have you tried re-installing opera? If that doesn't work, I would just re-flash your zaurus. But if you just want another browser you can get konqurer from here:

When installing, it will say that the install failed, but it still should work. It might only do that with my Z.
Zaurus sl-5500 with Sharp ROM version 3.1
128mb sd card, 2 16mb cf cards
Slackware Linux 10.0 with Kernel 2.6.7

Please visit my webblog. Be sure to post a few comments while your there :).

If a reboot doesn't fix it, remove the settings file if there's one, reinstallation should be an almost last resort, re-flashing an absolute last resort.

You'll find the settings in the directory:

$HOME/.opera

and

$HOME/.operasave

This is on a C860, but you didn't state your machine or ROM, it should the same on all though.
Left Linux and Linux PDAs... sorry, got boring.  Switched to Mac.
