The black swoopy ones* should auto-sense the monitor/LCD/projector. I've
had no trouble with this. However, there are loads of monitors out there
without the new capability to "tell" the computer what they are. For this,
you might want to track down a little utility called "Multi-resolutions"
which can make the PowerBook spit out almost any size/scan rate. I got it
from my local user group during one of our monthly meetings. It's shareware
so it should be easily available on the web.
I hope this helps.
* note that there are four different "G3" models (shame on you, Apple.)
The 3400 model got a G3 processor and was called the G3 PowerBook.
The first black ones were called the G3 Series ("series" being the key word)
Then Apple tweaked the internal design a bit, multiple resolutions on the
LCD,
faster processors, and called it the G3 Series.
Now Apple shaved off a few pounds and made big changes to the design, USB,
moved ports in the back, translucent brown keyboard, named: G3 Series 99.
