Machine: Powerbook G4 15” 1.33 Ghz, 768 Ram, 64MB Video Card
Display: Dell 2405 FPW 24in LCD 1900x1200 Resolution
Setup: Running the External display with the Laptop Display turn off (close lid)
GUI: Dock Magnification turn off, minimizing using Scale Effect, animated opening applications off, automatically hide dock off.

Problem: My computer operating system seems to be running sluggish with the powerbook hooked to the external mointer with the powerbook lcd turn off, is this because of the 64meg video card built into my powerbook? In what other ways can I enhance my powerbook to drive this 1900x1200 lcd more efficient? What is the recommendation to drive 1900x1200 lcd screen? Could it be the Logitech mouse I am using because of slow response tracking? I have twick the keyboard and mouse settings to receive higher response. But overall the mouse seem to be a little sluggish?

Any Opinions would be GREAT!!! And HELP!!

Thank You
Enkae

You can try the built in trackpad to see if that makes a difference. I've heard something about someone having a sluggish mouse, but I seem to recall that was on Windows. Overall online impressions of the monitor have been good.
