- Unfortunately, this is as good as you get in the video mirroring mode. Your
- external monitor is an exact copy of the Powerbook's built-in display.
-
- I am not sure exactly what you want. But if you just want to be able to use
- the external monitor as the main display and have all the menus and stuff
- like that. You can set up your Powerbook so that it uses the external monitor
- as a 2nd monitor and position your external monitor to the top or left of
- your built-in monitor from the monitor control panel. This way, you will
- have your external monitor acts sort of like a primary monitor with all the
- menus and icons displayed on it. And your built-in powerbook display will
- acts like an extension to the external monitor.
