As I understand your answer I can't use a second screen without
hacking xorg. Am I right ? Do you have any link about such hack .
I've also a mac mini I could use with my external scxreen (currently
under linux) . But the speed under X isn't very good and even with
r300 the directe rendering is only about 1000 fps :( . So do you have
to stay on macosx to use full power of my powerbook ?
Hope there is some hacks to apply :) ANd my powerbook is still under
warranty but... :)

Of course, you know where the dvi plug is. I wasn't indicating
that as your difficulty.
I had interpreted your question as a misunderstanding.
The limitation is with the firmware and the VRAM. Xorg can
interface no doubt with aspects of whatever is there, however it is
unlikely to be able to overcome what the VRAM limits it to. As
you've got the same VRAM I have, you are limited to utilizing (for
digital video output) a screen to be no more than a certain size
(23 inches). Although Xorg can be hacked it is much easier to
investigate getting the maximum digital video out you can -- 64MG
VRAM is definitely not it.
You may be lucky if you are still under the Apple warranty; you may
still be unlucky in that Apple may choose to stick to your original
"build to order" choice.
Best wishes...

Hi:
You may have overlooked the section of the manual which came with
your laptop entitled, "Connecting an Apple Flat-Panel Display";
it may best describe your options.
