Presentations on IBook? External Monitors? Beamers?
Hi,
me again with a question - this time its more for a friend of mine but I
hope to find some usefull information in the answers myself:
This is the machine I will be referring to:

The Problem is:
When connecing a second Monitor to it the picture is blurred and - now
this is the real problem!!! - when connecting a "beamer" no picture is
visible at all. Since he is a fellow student presentations is like 75%
of what we do. Any hints on what needs to be done? 2.6.8.1 is running
smoothly otherwise (except he might have forgotten some module for his
external firewire-gd *g*).
So - anyone here using his IBook for presentations? Any hint?
Myself is more interested in the whole thing for the G4 (ATI Radeon
9600) - but I am not so dependent on using beamers. He is - right now he
is using a macosx install on his external drive. But since his suspend
works fine, thats the only reason for him to reboot...
thx in advance,
Timo Reimerdes
