LCD Smashed, So...Ratpoison

Monday, February 05, 2007.

I just had a really terrible and wonderful thing happen to me. I dropped my thinkpad T40, shattering the LCD panel at pixel y=514 and below. That's the terrible part. The wonderful part is that I am now running ratpoison with the following fdump to compensate...the upper 2/3 of my screen is usable enough to find a replacement laptop / screen on.
