I've had the same issue on Ubuntu with similar hardware. As far as I can
tell there appears to be some problem with auto-detecting the screen's
capabilities (I also vaguely recall a discussion from a couple of years
back at least in which it was suggested that the wiring to the built-in
screen for iBooks of that era was "non-standard").
