Is there a way to make my Ibook have 2 monitors instead of just mirroring? I thought i saw somewhere long ago there was a hack for the mini vga to do that? Or am i talking out of my ass?

Thanks

There is one (two, actually.) One way to get one is here. It's in German, I believe, but you can figure it out iThink (I did.) An English hack (but harder to get) is availiable here. If you have Mac OS 9.2, use this hack instead.
WARNING: If you apply the Mac OS X hacks to Rage iBooks (check Low End Mac or Mactracker to see which model you have,) they may break. The Mac OS 9.2 hack doesn't work with Rage iBooks eithier.
