Re: 12 iBook (new) - external monitor resolution ?
Thanks for the tips about Screen Spanning Doctor certainly turns the table, again... I just wonder about basing a new Mac purchase on a third party hack, and then Tiger comes out, it doesn't work and the guy doesn't have time to update... I have been offered a 1GHz PowerBook G4 12 Alu and it has damage to the casing which means repair and RESPRAY!! And it won't be silver. :o) Larry _ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!

12 iBook (new) - external monitor resolution ?
I am thinking of buying a brand new iBook when it comes with Tiger (saves me buying it seperately), though I have a question: If I connect an external TFT screen, not as mirror but expanded desktop, what resolution can the iBook 12 32MB VRAM go up to on that screen ?

Re: 12 iBook (new) - external monitor resolution ?
Screen Spanning Doctor (http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html) works on all Radeon-based iBooks and eMacs, including the latest models (it also works on the iMac G4 thru G5). I have had it installed on my iBook G4/933 since the day I got it, and it works flawlessly. Presumably, the iBook supports much the same resolutions as the Mac mini does with VGA -- up to 1920x1080.
