Re: [PRODIG] Powerbooks /mirror mode

[Bob Smith]

It's just a function of the Monitors control panel in System 9 or the 
Displays preference pane under System Preferences in OS-X.  When an 
external display is connected you'll see a tab on the control panel 
called "arrange" or something like that.  In OS-X there's a check box 
on that pane to turn mirroring off and on.  In System 9 this can be 
done from a Control Strip module or in the Monitors control panel.  
It's probably pretty self explanatory.  Online help will walk you 
through the process.  If you've never hooked up a second display 
before, I believe it will come up in mirrored mode by default.

For mirrored mode (same data on both screens), the external monitor 
must be the same resolution or less than the PowerBook screen.  I use 
this when a projector is hooked up as the second display so I can see 
the same presentation on my laptop that's going to the projector.  My 
laptop screen resolution is 1024x768.  Some projectors are only 
800x600.  In mirrored mode with such a projector I get a small 800x600 
display in the middle of my laptop screen.

I'm still squeezing life out of this aging Lombard Powerbook and have 
little experience with Titanium models but I doubt that they're much 
different in this regard.

I read with interest yesterday that it is possible to use a Powerbook 
in "mirrored mode" - how do you set this up and what software do you 
need? Can this be done with a Titanium Powerbook?
