1) is not enabled by default by opera for a reason
2) opera is closed source
3) we cannot do anything in this matter. see 1 and 2

> Package downloaded from official site is free of the issue.

this is practically almost not possible since the opera package in our repos is coming from the official opera site, just repacked for archlinux
this is not an issue you sometimes have and other times dont ?

where did you install the package from the official site ?

Opera from repos crashes every time HW acceleration is enabled.

I run package from the official site without installation - just unpacked the tarball and run the script.

strange, i'm typing this comment with opera 12.00, hardware acceleration enabled, nvidia driver, testing up to date system. i have already browsed to youtube, some newspapers, ...

Hmm... I tried removing Opera completely and reinstalling, then enabling HW acceleration on fresh install - it still crashes.
I guess I'll wait for an update and try enabling it then. Not much else I can do now.
