Theres a little plug on most recent iBooks and powerbooks that has the label of a monitor : |O| except the O is a rectangle ...I wanted to use my PPC linux laptop to give a presentation...and typically, if one were using a powerbook with OSX you can simply plug the projector into that port and it automagically works upon boot. I was just wondering if anyone knew if this held true for an ibook on linux as well...im running it on a iBook4 G3...with the latest vanilla sources. its the white one and the first to have 2 usb 1.1 ports. I imagine it should, seems hard-wired...but I just wanted to be sure before I went to put on the show...

Also, is a wireless airport card the only card available? Does anyone know any non-usb alternatives that are supported in linux and also physically fit in an iBook?

And if anyone who has contributed to the Gentoo Linux project happens to read this...I wanted to extend a big thank you for putting together the best damned linux distro, or any os for that matter, out there for people to enjoy...you're do an exceptional job.

Thanks.

Best,
alden
