This is very strange, since the Mobility M7 in the iBook is supposed
to work perfectly.  Can you rule out hardware issues?  Did you by any
chance run that little hack that enables true dual-head in Mac OS and
Mac OS X?

Unfortunately, yes.  You could file a bug report against the Xserver
about this and contact upstream as well.

Regards, Jens.
