PB 3400c VGA out

[Maconthemove]

How do you get the VGA port going? Is there a setup or function key to press?

Depending on what System you're running, try checking the "PowerBook Display" or "Monitors and Sound" control panels to see if anything is available there. Also, the "Video Mirroring" or "Resolution" control strips may allow you to change the settings.

No luck. It looks like he deleted some control panels. Will re-install 8.6.1

Just one thing - remember that VGA port on the 3400 only allows mirroring - you cannot run an extended desktop on any PowerBook 3400.

Read the help doc and found out that when the vga monitor is hooked up a to a monitor, a dialog box shows up in the monitor and sound panel. The powerbook is not seeing the monitor.
