What about sleeping?
Authored by: sharumpe on Mar 19, '02 02:00:05PM

I usually sleep my PowerBook before removing the monitor, and it works 99 out of 100 times. It's generally a bad idea to remove things that aren't explicitly noted as being "hot-swappable" without sleeping or powering down the machine, anyhow.

The other one time I kill the Finder, but this is rarely needed. The one thing that DOES usually require killing the Finder is that the background pics are usually not correct for the external monitor.

No big deal, though.

Mr. Sharumpe
