Hello again. I have a miniVGA to VGA cable and a external monitor that I want to hook up to my MorphOS machine (iBook 1.2 Ghz). Is this possible and how would I do that? I'm using MorphOS 3.4.
Thanks.

Er, well, to start I think you should plug it all in and see what happens. :)
Under OSX, the iBooks can only duplicate the laptop display onto a monitor, they can't extend it. I think that's a firmware-level thing, so there might be similar behavior under MorphOS. Furthermore, I don't know if MorphOS even has multiple monitor support, so a duplicate display might be the only option anyway.

There is a software hack that bypasses the firmware Apple put in place. Apple didn't want the iBooks competing with the Powerbooks. Do this at your own risk. Go to;

External monitor on the iBook is not supported by MorphOS.
