The best way to get this to work is to shutdown your powerbook and completely hookup the monitor. Then press the power button and immediately close the lid. Then you should see the monitor come up with what you would normally see on the panel. At this time open up the lid and use your power book as normal, your external monitor should continue to work. As for this working as it does on other laptops and being able to just plug the monitor and it work, there needs to be some driver work or something about an open firmware emulator and there is no timetable for when that will be available(if ever?). -- Scott Henson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
