A quick question to the gallery.

I know that the early G4 powerbooks could be used closed with an external monitor basically close lid then click external USB mouse and the external screen becomes your main/only screen.

Has this changed with later Powerbooks I have both my 1Ghz PowerBook and a work colleagues 867Mhz (same era) and can not get it to work. Have tried setting video mirroring (just incase that was a forgotten step) but basically it seems that once the lids closed that's it it ignores the mouse totally and is totally asleep just like the G3 PowerBooks.
