Re: external vga + ibook2 [OpenFirmware command?]
By the way, is TV output supported in new iBooks (the one with the M7
chip)?
External VGA works great (once linux has detected the monitor), but I
can not get TV output working although XFree (4.2.1) detects the TV.
P.S. Yes, I'm talking about the iBook rev2.2 (not TiBook). I'm using
the Apple Video Adapter with S-Video & Composite Video outputs.
