So, as long you use a lone video card you can't successfully calibrate two monitors, you have to make your choice. I don't know if BasIColour or Fuji allow to calibrate two monitors one a single video card.
BasICColor, EyeOne Match and Optical are the packages I've used on various machines including PowerBooks. Not sure about Optical (I've only used it wtth two cards on a desktop machine) but the other two will do two monitors on the same card (assuming a Powerbook uses one card for both the internal external displays). BasICColor is what I currently use as its far superior for LCD calibration. Whether or not two displays can be calibrated on one card depends on the card. The video card in PowerBooks can handle separate calibration on both displays.... or at least it seems to to me. I don't really use the built in LCD for any sort of critical use but its at least reasonably similar to my external Cinema Display when both are calibrated and properly accounted for by the system. Reloading the LUT is not that complicated... just select a different profile that causes a change to the display and then re-select the one you really want. And its a procedure that's only called for if you hot connect a display. In all other circumstances the correct LUT is loaded at login.
