Applescript for Dual Monitor Support with modern iBooks, iMacs and 
eMacs - (from a reader mail)

"hi mike, the in germany well known comp-mag c't has made an 
applescript that should enable the dual-display support for ibooks, 
imacs and emacs (models with dual display capable gpus like radeon 
7500..) unlike changing the settings in the OF yourself.

(there's an older article here on this sort of OF mod)

it should be reset to default, if you zap your nvram.

you have to use it in X, after enabling the dualsupport is also in 9 
given. if your ibook has only 16megs (VRAM) you should enable quartz 
extreme using PCIextreme (assuming Radeon chip and not a Rage128 chip 
which has no QE support regardless)

the download page is:

after unstuffing you'll find two textdocuments and two applescripts 
iBookScreenEnhancer
iBookScreenEnhancer + Desktop
the second is to use the ibook with external monitor and closed lid.
i haven't tried it yet, because i don't own one of these machines.
FYI: the license says, you can enable download, if:
you dont charge anything for it
you have to tell it is not pd and "heise zeitschriften verlag gmbh&co 
kg" is the author and origin
