I would like to use dual laptop screen on my iBook, using an iBook screen. Ideally, the objective would be to use an iBook g4 LCD screen as a second monitor so as to increase the "real estate" of the screen, using dual screen and and a spanning software, i have used spanning doctor with out problem and it is honestly practical. The project for me, (if at all possible), is to "rip" the screen off of one iBook, and connect it to an other iBook that has a working screen... and have dual screens spanning. If you have information that could help me with this, it would be great. Good luck Mr. futuregeek from de. Deucalion from ca. living in tw. wanting to be elsewere. Very nice and Interesting as well.

I still can use it as before. what found out is that you have to turn the motherboard upside down. ( look at the picture on http://blog.futuregeek.de/wp-content/IMG_3061_resized.jpg ). by the way, I replaced the hard disk with a 4GB solid state hard disk (e.g.: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/b000pq3ywu/futuregeekde-21 ) and found out that using ubuntu (or probably any other linux flavour) you can use 'radeontool light off/on' to switch off/on the display instead of shutting down the computer. during the night.

I have the same kind of dell laptop, so any help would be appreciated :-) Hi

I also built a DSL based CD that worked as well, the only hitch was that when running DSL, the CPU fan would never shut off and it was annoying. With Bart PE though, the CPU fan comes on occasionally for a few minutes. Anyways about your questions for turning off the screensaver and screen blanking... put this line in /home/dsl/.xinitrc xset s off xset s noblank I built a similar picture frame (with a Compaq Presario) but went with using Windows & Bart PE.
