Trouble with external display on PowerBook using 10.4

Hi all,
Any more recent updates on this? I have the same LCD as the original poster (the hp 2035), and it was just fine in 1.3.9, but after getting Tiger today, I'm seeing the same problems. I've upgraded to 1.4.2 and I almost get my display, but it keeps flashing on and off every few seconds....

Ok, here goes. Have a G4 Aluminum powerbook running Tiger 10.4. Using a VGA connection to my LCD TV. I have a great picture but it's just the blue screen desktop image, nothing else. I use a different color desk top. The image on the TV isn't the image on my powerbook screen. What have I done wrong?

I seem to have the same problem all of the sudden with my IBOOK...what seems to be happening with me is that i plug the adapter into my laptop and the lcd goes blue, then all of the sudden my external display awakens, only to show "no signal input". Troubling, because in 10.4.1 I had no problem. Then my external display goes back to sleep. I went into system prefrences and looked under displays and it reconizes my external ddisplay and says its running fine. The only solution I've found so far is to unplug my external dislpay from the electrical outlet and then plugging it back in. Not convienient at all. Any help from anyone out there?!

I have samsung syncmaster 213T and this problem happened after I updated mine to 10.4.3. After I set the pivot setting on my samsung to 90 degrees, it flickers and only the mouse pointer is moving and visible. (in 90 degrees tilted way) Mirroring and spanning works fine. I guess I triggered a sleeping beast.

Seeing this post i thought I should try mine out to see if I had the same problem.
I have just got a 19 inch Formac Extreme Raven-3 and been using it in dual monitor mode only. So I connected a keyboard and shut the lid. I am now typing this with the lid shut and a perfect image on my external monitor.
Phew!

I had the exact same setup with the same effect. If it wasn't for the mouse pointer looking normal, I would think it was out of sync or something. Moved back to 10.4.2 to get the monitor working again.

Same problem appeared after 10.4.3 upgrade,for connecting a 15" 1.67 GHz to a Sanyo PLV-Z2 projector with a DVI cable.

Has anyone heard anything from Apple regarding this problem? I believe mine is related and less serious. It is, however, annoying:

Since the 10.4.3 upgrade and with every sleep, I lose the settings on BOTH the PowerBook LCD and the external 17'' dell LCD. I have to detect displays before I can work.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

fellow

Similar issue with my power mac G4. I updated to 10.4.3 and upon restart discovered that my display had dropped acid. I'm experiencing cascading trails when i move or resize windows or applications. The dock will expand but the image remains on screen after the mouse is moved away... I have discovered the following:

The problem is fixable, but the process must be completed every time the computer is powered on or restarted.

The process is as follows:

1. Turn on the computer.

2. IMMEDIATELY go to the dock and open system preferences.

3. Return to the dock, click and hold on system preferences.

4. The text menu of the contents of your system preferences menu will appear.

5. In the text menu, find and click on "displays"

6. The display menu should appear on screen. In this menu, simply double click on the next lowest resolution setting for your display.

7. Your display should reset in the new resolution and work properly. From here you can again reset your display to the higher resolution and carry on as normal.

I hope this helps you all... This is indeed a frustrating bug in the Tiger update. APPLE SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS: FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP.
