External Monitor?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

Thanks for the help with getting my iBook to 'talk' to my XP machine.

Anyhow, I'd like to hook up my iBook to an A/B switch setup with my 19" Sony Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse. Until I get the switch, I wanted to test it out and it works great, except for one thing. If I close the laptop, the screen will shut off, even my monitor. Is there something that I could change that would prevent it from doing this or is this something that OSX just does?

I can understand this from a power saving point of view, but I have it plugged into the wall and I'd hate to have to keep my laptop open while I use an external keyboard, mouse and monitor...

Thanks in advance.
