What is the model of your iBook? Most iBooks use a mini-dvi out output, and with adapters, they can connect to most anything. From there, go to System Preferences, Displays, then Detect Displays. The iBook does not support dual displays, however, so you'll be using your second display at iBook resolution. You have two options to support the "real" resolution:
1. Buy a new laptop
2. Enable a hardware hack that my damage your computer, but should get your display working. Read about it here: http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html
