[P1] External monitor with iBook

[Chris Beaumont]

I've also seen a method to run two different displays at the same time 
on the ibook..one internal, one external..(not mirrored), if you have 
the later model with the radeon chip..

Its a hack.. it involves dropping into open firmware to enter code, 
etc..

I dont know the URL.. it was in Germany, i think..

Please don't email me asking me to find the link, I dont have time.. A 
google search should turn it up..
