Re: [RP] ratpoison-1.4.9-rc2

[Joren Van Onder]

Hi,

As promised I'm reporting back after testing. I have been running

1.4.9-rc2 for about a week now on my main laptop. I attach and

deattach my external monitor multiple times a day and run a simple

script that just does basic xrandr commands to handle that. So far I

haven't experienced any issues. So to me everything looks good :).

Kind regards,

Joren

Feels like this should be documented.

Suggestions (and patches) welcome!
