iBook VGA mirroring Question

Hi


There is this problem about getting the iBook LCD display to "sleep" while on VGA mirroring mode.

What is the correct procedure ?

The VGA mirroring works fine but the LCD display doesn't go off.

I read that the only option available is to dim down the LCD display using "Brightness" control.

If the Energy Saver is set to "Sleep" then the whole machine will go to "Sleep" mode.

I am running iBook "Dual USB" on OS X 10.2.3...


Cheers,
Ben
 
That's pretty much the way it works in a nutshell. If you mirror your display to external VGA, it still works on the LCD. And if you tell the display to sleep, both displays will go to sleep.

So, the easy solution is just to set the brightness control to zero by holding the F1 button.
