I have an iBook g4 with a 20 inch dell monitor already hooked up through the mini VGA input. Ive seen people with more than one monitor hooked up to their computers though, and im wandering how this can be done. thanks.
Got a tip for us?

How do you set up Dual Monitors?

Can't, not on your machine, it can handle its own monitor plus one other. that;s it.AppleGuy08 said:
PowerMac G4 and G5 owners can have up to 2 monitors on the primary video card, and theoretically 2 more on each additional PCI or PCIe video card they install
I've seen people dual screen on an iBook before with third party software that allows them to do it.
The splitter would have to be something like this: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/offhome/dh2go/home.cfm
But you would have to get another monitor for that.
I'll ask my friend for the link to that dualscreen software.
