1024x768 on Firewire Clamshell

[TheMacGuy]

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.

All FireWire models have the 8MB of VRAM. I just checked on mine.
