You can get multiple monitors working for a few seconds if you boot up your iBook in verbose mode (Command - V). While the console is displayed on the main monitor, the external monitor is greyed out. Not turned off, but grey. So the iBook is clearly drawing *something* different on the external monitor. Once the Finder starts loading, the screens sync up though.
