That should be documented in the getting started guide.

But, if I recall correctly, the F7 on a PowerBook is the  detect- 
displays key. My PB is buried in the midst of moving prep while  
awaiting a hard drive replacement, so I can't check at the moment.

  As the iBook only mirrors, and does not do extended desktop, it  
does not have the detect-displays function.
