I tried this just now and it didn't work. In MacOS, I have the monitor set to 1024x768 at thousands of colors. Both monitors display the same image. When I boot back to Linux, something flashes on the external monitor. It says something about OF, but it disappears to fast for me to read it fully. Then the image disappears, and nothing else appears on the external monitor. I am using the latest (rev 9) Xpmac. Tim ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
