I'm using kubuntu gutsy, with above configure, I can have my ibook G4
work with external VGA
Yes, it worked !
You have just earned 20 EUR :)
Now my external VGA display finally works properly in both Mac OS X and Debian GNU/Linux 4.0
Here's the detailed information:

Perhaps a dumb question but...
I don't need the external vga ouput all the time. In fact I only need it when I make presentations with a beamer, that is once every three months.
Should I keep using the xorg.conf with the external VGA output defined even if I don't need it ?
Will it "suck" more energy from the battery if I leave the VGA ouput enabled in xorg.conf ?
To Zhengpeng Hou: Can I send you the 20 EUR to your address: zhengpeng-hou@ubuntu.com ?
Or do you prefer if I send it to another address ?
Other folks: Thanks a lot :)
It's a pleasure when you can get things to work :)
Cheers,
