Wait. If you have the Arrangement tab, and you "arrange" the two Desktops, then if you can drag the cursor from one Desktop to the other, you've got "spanning" enabled. Normally you'd only get "mirroring", meaning both monitors are identical, external "mirrors" the onboard LCD. It sounds like you have a hybrid, you've got spanning, but somehow the resolution of the two Desktops are mirrored instead of independent as they should be. One idea that possibly could help. If you've only used Software Update to update this iBook, you may have only been offered "delta" updates that are trimmed down of unnecessary software, such as graphics stuff that a "mirroring only" LCD laptop could never use. The normal "Combo" update might have extra software to enable the 1680x1050 resolution to work correctly? If you've got a little extra HD space, perhaps reinstall the "Combo" update and see what happens? > I think maybe this iBook isn't compatible.
