I'm having a major hassle with using an external monitor via the DVI-out port (using an old G4 PowerBook 1.25GHz, 15")... whenever I plug in the monitor and select "Detect Displays" I instead get the dialog "are you sure you want to shut down"....

Searched the web and found this old thread

http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=41929

to which I posted an unanswered query. However this explains the issue, so rather than retyping the whole sad story, I thought I'd just link it here.

Has ANYONE ELSE had this problem? And resolved it?

Or is it just time to retire the old beast and think about buying a new one?
