either you monitor doesn't do ddc or your ibook uses a different i2c line (<sigh>). you can force the monitor on with these commands: xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1024x768 xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1024x768 If it is indeed using a different i2c line, try the following: Option "ConnectorTable" "2,2,2,1,X,1,2,2" replace X with 1 or 3 or 4 or 5 and see which, if any, are able to get an edid from your monitor.
