Hello,<br><br>Sorry to re-post, but I need to have this problem solved
before thursday june 7th 2007, which is in two days. I have to make a
presentation using a beamer on that day, and I really need a solution
for this problem.
<br><br>So I'm offering to pay 20 EUR to the person who can solve this problem. <br>Yes, 20 EUR, paid with PayPal, this is not a joke.<br><br>I have bought a mini-VGA to VGA adapter for my iBook G3 800 MHz 12 inch.<br>
<br>
When I use the adapter to connect an external VGA display to my iBook G3:<br>- in Mac OS X, everything is fine, I can see my desktop both on the iBook LCD display and on the external VGA display
<br>- in Debian GNU/Linux, I can see my desktop on the iBook LCD
display, but I see nothing but a grey screen on the external VGA display<br><br>Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:<br><br> 1 # /etc/X11/xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)<br> 2 #<br> 3 # Dernière modification: Pierre Bauduin, le 4 juin 2007 à 19h40
