Hello, I have a flat panel monitor not being used and i was wondering if I could use it as a second screen. I don't mean to mimic what is going on on my iBook but as more screen space. I have an iBook G3 900 mH 640 mB ram and a video out on the side. I have already connected it to display what I am doig on my desktop, but I would like to have more screen space. Any advice or links? Thanks.

There is the spanning hack that would make the extra monitor not mirror the image on your iBook but give you that extra space you want. Try searching for spanning hack.
