everybody is talking about the POWERbook with its lid closed, the POWERbook with its blablabla... - does this mean this feature is not working on an iBook. i don't have an external keyboard, so i can't check, but if i knew it would work this way maybe i would consider getting one... .alex

The iBook does not support "lid closed" as the graphics card does not support it. I have have tested this and also my tech says the iBook will need to be open for heat reasons. Ok the PB heats as well but the iBook will over heat even more with the lid closed as per the design.

did anyone try those hacks for the iBooks to do splitt screen? Maybe the lid-closed function would be enabled as well, huh? The current and some older iBooks have the same graphic cards like some older powerbooks which supported this lid-closed option. I believe it's just a software thing.. But yeah, heat could be an issue. The keyboard surface heats up a lot on my ibook, when the disk is working much.

so, why don't you test the lid-closed feature? Would love to know if it's working on those "unlocked" iBooks..
