These icons I speak of . . . I think they will only appear if you use Opera or Konqueror.

Could someone please tell me - why would a computer crash following (or during?!) a change to the video mode? You see, I would like to say Linux is great, and that my computer never crashes, but occasionally it does . . . but I've no idea whether this is a hardware fault (and would happen regardless of operating system) or a software one. But it always happens the same way . . . I'll be changing video mode just a bit too often, my monitor will be clicking and twitching and trying to keep up with all this, and then . . . blackness . . . an all-pervasive darkness . . . and that's it . . . it's power cycle time . . . The motherboard's an Asus A7A266 and the video card is some kind of Voodoo 2000 (16MB, I think). The video card may be old, but the motherboard certainly isn't.

I don't know . . . if it's not one thing, then it's another.
