I have an iBook G4 and I want to hook it up to an external monitor and use ONLY the external monitor at the maximum resolution of that monitor, is there a way to do this?
Right now what I am doing is using this screen spanning doctor tool which expands the desktop to the other monitor(like what windows does if you have a video card with 2 outputs) It also allows me to set the external monitor to what ever resolution i wish. The problem is that i dont always want to have the extended desktop, because for one it really lags up expose and i really dont need it all the time.
But if i do mirror displays then I can only get the external monitor up to the same resolution as the built in screen, expose runs smooth as can be though...
I really want to get this working, i just got a new LCD display (hitachi CML174) It has both digital and analog inputs, so i have my PC on the digital and the iBook on the analog, all i have to do is hit the menu key and select what input i want it on. Thus removing the need for a KVM switch(I dont have a apple keyboard anyways).
Uh.. thanks in advance... i kind of just rambled on there.

For more information, see our Apple Hardware Guide listings for the 12-inch 1.2GHz iBook G4, 14-inch 1.33GHz iBook G4 with Combo drive, and the 14-inch 1.33GHz iBook G4 with SuperDrive models. The operating system on these computers is the Mac OS X, including the 10.3 and 10.4 versions. When watching a film or playing a video game, the iBook facilitates a 1024x768p resolution, which classifies as high definition. The graphics on the system are powered by the. For that we can thank MorphOS 3.5, a free-to-try Amigalike operating system developed by Amiga and PowerPC aficionados. With a simple download and a CD-burn, you can turn an aging G4-era Macintosh.
The G4 iBooks are OSX only, so cannot boot into OS9. The first iBook G4 was released in October 2003, with an 800MHz 12' model, and 933MHz and 1GHz 14' versions. Apple specs here. In June 2004 a speed bump moved the 12' model to 1GHz, dropped the 933MHz 14' and brought in. Okay, so in a couple of weeks my iBook g4 12' is going to arrive, it has a 30gb hard drive and 256mb of RAM. I have copied the.DMG file of the Mac OS X 10.5 install disk to my external USB hard drive and made sure its a bootable drive, so my question is. If i hold down Option (alt) key.
