ElDiabloConCaca U.S.D.A. Prime Aug 27, 2005 #2 The iBook does not support using an external monitor in closed-lid mode. Only the PowerBooks can operate in closed-lid mode. The iBook only supports using an external monitor to mirror what's displayed on the built-in screen. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88199 If you really want to do this, you're doing so at the risk of permanently damaging the iBook. There are hacks to help you do this, but I do not recommend them. http://home.earthlink.net/~mrob/pub/ibook.html
