Don't see any XOrg log file, you forgot to attatch it? And what is Xinerama, i thought it was a window manager like KDE or gnome..= .? Try loading from the open-source driver, or generic vga or vesa, will that improve preformance? You said problems started to occur with Opera 8 and later, did you try using opera 7.x or 6.x? it those work alright I think opera support would be the best place to be....
