Re: Moniters and Flat Panel iMacs
Try out the Screen Spanning Doctor, a utility that enables the monitor-spanning features of the video hardware in everything from iBooks to G4 iMacs. Apple disabled the feature to try and encourage users to buy the more expensive Powerbooks and G4s. http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html My wife installed it on her iBook 700 and it works a treat. Allows her to spread her desktop out onto a second monitor (rather than mirroring) and be able to access higher resolutions on the external screen (I think up to 1600 x 1200 or thereabouts). Like having a new computer. email me if you want a copy of the utility directly.

Re: Moniters and Flat Panel iMacs
I should stress, this is only good if you have a Mac that qualifies (has the right video card) - if your iMac has a 15 flat screen rather than a 17, don't try this software as it could stuff up your monitor firmware settings. -Mart At 4:35 PM +0800 3/9/03, Martin Hill wrote: Try out the Screen Spanning Doctor, a utility that enables the monitor-spanning features of the video hardware in everything from iBooks to G4 iMacs.

Moniters and Flat Panel iMacs
