Apple VGA Display Adapter. Didn't know it off-hand, but Googling "iMac G5 external display" found it instantly.

thanks for that very quick reply.


would you know if the g5 can do extended desktop ?
maybe on leopard ?
im currently running 10.4 on it and it seems that everyone so far can only mirror ?

is that due to hardware or OS ?
thanks

Not without firmware hacks. No.

Google answered this as fast as I could type "iMac G5 extended desktop" into Google.

Use Google.

you need screen spanning doctor
and under 10.4 Tiger it works definitely (had a G5 iMac myself )

it is a firmware hack as apple has disabled that feature of screen spanning to sell more PowerMac's back then
