| Tiger install can't see external monitor
Tiger install can't see external monitor  Hi guys, Hope there is someone out there who can solve this one for me. I have a G4 500mhz Titanium Laptop (ancient!) running 1GB of RAM. I would like to install Tiger. My problem is that the laptop monitor has bombed a while ago and I am using an external Lacie VGA monitor. Everything has been running well on OS9.1 classic. When I try to install Tiger off the disc it automatically asks me to restart the Mac. When I restart, the installation dialogue box is hidden on my blank Laptop screen and I cannot see anything on my external monitor. I have tried all permutations in the montor contrl panel - like duplicating the monitors and rearranging the start up screen etc but still no luck. Does anyone out there know what I should be doing or if there is a way around this? Is there a keyboard command when booting up to force the external monitor to be the start up screen? I did back all my data up onto newly purchased external Lacie firewire drive (250GB) before attempting to install Tiger. Without seeing the installation dialoge box I cannot proceed. PLEEEASE HELP!!

You can do it by closing the lid on the notebook, i.e. you'll need an external keyboard and mouse. The reason: You can only set up mirroring in OS X _after_ the OS is installed, and I guess OS 9's setting doesn't stick for OS X.

Ok so I have the same issue. I am using an iMac G5, my screen was cracked so I used another screen. I was running tiger, but decided to upgrade to leopard, now I am lost bcuz once my computer restarted I did not see anything. I am trying to figure out how I can get the image back on my other screen. If I turn off the iMac before leopard instAlls, what happens? I really need help.
