Ibook g3 display problems and drivers.

You need the iBook's original disks, not the universal package. Contact Apple and ask for replacements.

I have the same problem - when i boot to 9 directly the display screen starts out full size 1024x768 but than reverts to a half size 800x600 - i do not have the original cd's that came with the ibook - i have original 0sx cd's but they do not include classic system - have been told that there was an extra install disk that had os9 classic system, but i do not have it - 9.2.2 runs fine from osx classic, but i have one proprietary software package that will not boot from classic and i have to boot into 9 directly to get the software to run, which it does - BUT - only having a half size screen is a pain. Is there a workaround to get the system to recognise the full screen display? The monitor control panel indicates i have two displays one 640x480 one 1024x768 - somewhere read that by plugging in external monitor jack and reinstalling 9 solved the problem - do not have cable any discussion on this would be helpful!

It is likely that you have the wrong OS installed. That can cause the shrunken display image you're seeing.

i just plugged a rgb monitor into the rgb port and the ibook boots using 9.2.2 and the screen is full size on both the RGB and the LCD - monitor control panel shows both lcd and rgb at 1076x760 when i disconnect the rgb plug the screen stays full size - BUT upon reboot with the RGB plug out it boots to the half screen again - boot with the RGB monitor plugged in , but not powered up it boots to a full screen - i am stumped - id like to use this ibook with a full screen without having to plug in a RGB monitor to have it work correctly - is it a OS problem? or what any ideas??????

Try going to System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account. Log out and log back in as the new user. Does the problem happen in the new account, too?
