Just got my DVI converter. Setting up my 1GHz Ti PB...cannot seem to get the desktop to fill the 20" display - at max resolution...i.e. 1680 X 1050. Keep getting a small desktop shown on the 20"...If I choose say 1024 X 768 (stretched), it fills the screen, but looks like crap.

Furthermore, what is the keystroke to allow me to close my PB and retain the image on the 20"? In Windows its Function F7...

Thanks!

How do you like the 20" setup? I have the same PB as you and was considering the 20" as well. What were you doing wrong?
