Hi Benny, |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
The stock answer is no, as external monitor support is not supported |
| 19 |
across the entire ibook line due to video card differances between the |
| 20 |
various models. that webpage while it worked for the owner, it's not a |
| 21 |
catch all answer. In fact that guide won't work for my ibook. External |
| 22 |
monitor support is still in its infancy and as such there isn't a guide |
| 23 |
that will handle all of them. Some of the models require additional |
| 24 |
software to do it, some the software doesn't exist for it yet. |
