I have my powerbook closed with an external monitor running. How do I get the sound to work with the powerbook closed? I tried using the headphone jacks but no luck. Its a 15' ti867 powerbook.

Alsp, i only have 32mb of vram, will this be enough to run a 20' ACD?

I'm not sure why the sound wouldn't be working... headphone jack would be the right port. Not to sound too lame, but are both the speakers and the system volume turned up?

32mb of vram for a 20" is fine. I'm doing the same thing with my rev b 12" powerbook. Expose isn't perfect, but it works well enough.

what do mean by "expose isn't perfect"? Does expose affect how the graphics look on the monitor?

I think he means that there is a noticeable delay or lag with Exposé on that size resolution with that amount of video ram.

Yea, expose works well, it just is a little more choppy with only 32mb of vram.
