- Er, the external monitor mirrored the built-in screen on your PB. What
- were you looking for?
-
- Were you expecting to be able to use all of the real estate of a monitor
- larger than the built-in screen? If this was allowed, it wouldn`t be video
- mirroring, now would it? :)
-
- I will admit that it looked funny when I saw a PB160 driving a 16" monitor
- in video mirroring mode. And I thought my IIsi left alot of wasted black
- margins on my 13"! Of course, seeing how much real estate was watsed, I
- simply switched to dual display and rebooted. I'd much rather have 2 screens
- than one, even if one is usuable. (ie, from folding up the PB and using an
- ADB mouse and keyboard, as I plan to do at home...)
