Hello,
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.
So I'm offering to pay 20 EUR to the person who can solve this problem.
Yes, 20 EUR, paid with PayPal, this is not a joke.
I have bought a mini-VGA to VGA adapter for my iBook G3 800 MHz 12 inch.
When I use the adapter to connect an external VGA display to my iBook G3:
- in Mac OS X, everything is fine, I can see my desktop both on the iBook
LCD display and on the external VGA display
- 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
Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
