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.

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.

Hi all,
I am looking for any possible solution to have a
second moniter on a flat pannel iMac. I don't want the
second one to mirror the first, I want them both
running together. I have been told the card that runs
the monitor (sorry, hardware is not my strong point)
wont allow this, can I get a replacement card that
does? I am looking for any solution at all. I run a G4
tower at home and know I can do it there but at work
the iMac is the only Mac and they wont be buying a
second one under any circumstances.
If anyone has a solution, no matter how difficult or
convoluded please let me know.
Kind regards,
Kelly Duffy
