Weird Weird ...
« on: March 29, 2005, 02:50:33 pm »
Friends,

I had OPERA opened, browsing for a page, and suddenly screen went black, then the text "MODPROBE" appeared on VERTICAL like if the screen was rotated like a pda, but it wasnt, I had it in "laptop" mode) with a FONT reminiscent of "COMMODORE 64" (big font, pixelated).

Then screen went WHITE.

Then system was in the "SET CLOCK" application, just like a "reset" but with no reset time.

Welcome to the twilight zone

Any ideas ?
Enrique

Ive had the same once.  Opera kept bomming me out with no warning and then as you say "Who swapped my zaurus for a C Vic 20?"  Hasnt happened since (3-4 weeks?) but I have reset my flash ram and stopped installing software off the cacko feed directly since I noticed other apps doing wierd stuff about the same time.

Most likely what happened was Opera crashing the whole Qtopia possibly when running low on memory...

Yeah Opera has a nasty tendency to take everything down with it when it crashes.
It's also designed for qvga screens (the multimodal package, anyway) so the fonts are always ridiculously small
