Am I missing something?
I have an iBook G4 and I want to hook it up to an external monitor and use ONLY the external monitor at the maximum resolution of that monitor, is there a way to do this?
Right now what I am doing is using this screen spanning doctor tool which expands the desktop to the other monitor(like what windows does if you have a video card with 2 outputs) It also allows me to set the external monitor to what ever resolution i wish. The problem is that i dont always want to have the extended desktop, because for one it really lags up expose and i really dont need it all the time.
But if i do mirror displays then I can only get the external monitor up to the same resolution as the built in screen, expose runs smooth as can be though...
I really want to get this working, i just got a new LCD display (hitachi CML174) It has both digital and analog inputs, so i have my PC on the digital and the iBook on the analog, all i have to do is hit the menu key and select what input i want it on. Thus removing the need for a KVM switch(I dont have a apple keyboard anyways).
Uh.. thanks in advance... i kind of just rambled on there.

M9418LL/A iBook G4 1GHz 512mb 40GB Combo Airport -Pre Owned (14' Display) M9418LL/A $119.00: M9419LL/A iBook G4 14' 1.2GHz 512mb 40GB Combo Airport -Pre Owned M9419LL/A $125.00: M9627LL/A iBook G4 14' 1.33GHz 512mb 60GB Combo Airport-Pre Owned M9627LL/A $119.00 $99.00: M9848LL/A iBook G4 14' 1.42GHz 1Gb 60GB Super Drive Airport-Pre Owned. The iBook G4 line has been streamlined to two models: a $999 computer with a 12-inch display, a 1.33GHz processor, a 40GB hard drive, a CD-burning Combo drive; and a $1,299 model with a 14-inch. Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is supported on all 867 MHz and faster G4 iBooks with at least 512 MB of RAM and the ability to run the DVD-based installer. We recommend at least 768 MB of RAM for Leopard – and more if you can afford it. The 12″ 800 MHz iBook G4 is the only G4 iBook officially “unsupported” for 10.5. Almost all of the G4 iBooks are supported by Mac OS X 10.5, but 4200 rpm drives could be a real bottleneck. External $100 Sony DVD burner likes Macs, Brian Gray, Fruitful Editing, 2007.10.10. The box and manual say nothing about Mac compatibility, but this 18x USB 2.0 DVD burner is plug-and-play (at least with Tiger). For example, a 14-inch 1GHz iBook G4 costs $1,499 while a 12-inch 1GHz PowerBook costs $1,599. Rather than compare individual models, let’s take a look at the differences between the iBook and PowerBook product lines: First, the similarities: Both iBook and PowerBook lines have PowerPC G4 processors and DDR memory architecture.

Hey, I am totally new to Macs.
I have recently switched over to start to develop iphone apps in object C and with the iphone SDK.
I have an outdated ibook, but since i only want it for programming, i didnt think I should buy a new model.
I bought the laptop from a mate, and he told me the OS is a little outdated, and he suggested i updated it;
Because i am new to the mac world, can someone tell me what the latest OS is that will run on my laptop:
Specs:
1.33ghz
256 HDD
768mb ram
I am currently on Mac OS X 10.5.6,
is there any later OS that will run on this machine?
