Ok, so I was browsing the internet with Opera 7.11 and I clicked on a link and then my screen went blank and then the opening page popped up (the one you get when you turn on your computer and it asks for your password...) but it didn't shut down or reboot....
Everything seems fine now but I'm slightly worried... Has this happened to anyone before? Is there something doing on wrong with my computer? If so, does anyone know what I can do??



Edit: moved from Installing Mandrake by spinynorman

happened to me last night to.... in opera...
in fact it was more bizarre

it actually flashed onto the bios screen v. quickly but then in an instant it was back at restarting kdm ?? so I logged in again and .....

It's a sign!!!

.......firefox is calling...........

Are you using the shared library or static compiled?

Try the other one and see what happens

she needs Opera becuase a certain site wont allow Firefox or Konq

Its currently static.
However I had the same thing happen ... now I remember becuase it also happens when re-starting its the graphic card bios flashes up. Looks like a reboot but isnt

this is also happening with Xv stuff too,
~Littlegorse has a matrox mga400 and i have a nvidia ... so that seems unlikely ....

Im wondering if its the version of XFree ... ??? after MDK rushed backwards becuase of the licensing ?
