1024x768 on Firewire Clamshell

I remember reading a while back that someone was able to convert their Clamshell to use a 1024x768 display from a 12" G3/G4 iBook. I found the article on it, but I was wondering if anyone here had tested this or done something like this. The Indigo 366 I bought for parts a few weeks ago that ended up working would be my candidate. Great machine, but the 800x600 resolution is ridiculously small for any version of OS X.

I remember looking into it a while back but finding the right display cable was difficult. Best bet would be to find a faulty donor 12" iBook and go from there. The Clamshell also needs to be the upgraded "SE" model with 8MB video RAM, IIRC.
