[X4U] Using a PowerBook screen as an external monitor?

[Jeff Porten]

Right.  Got that already, but that doesn't let me use the PB screen  
as an external monitor.  What I want to do is to make the PB  
temporarily headless and let the MacBook use its monitor.

Here's an example of how it might work (which I don't know if it's  
possible):

1) Force the MacBook to think it has an external monitor, even though  
it doesn't.

2) Use VNC on the PB to create a full screen view of the virtual  
external monitor.

Voila, the PB becomes an external monitor.  Problem is that 1) is  
impossible AFAIK, and 2) is difficult as VNC doesn't discriminate  
between monitors.  But it's one way to skin this cat.

Best,
Jeff
