It's no surprise that QE is enabled on my TiBook. But when I attach an external monitor and run the checker app again, neither monitor has it enabled. Could that be right?

A possible reason is that a monitor needs so much video ram to produce the colors needed for the display. That is why the cards with more memory have better color. With quartz extreme, the minimum amount of ram needed is 16 to run. While having two monitors, it is splitting the video memory.

I quote from <http://www.rutemoeller.com/mp/ibook/ibook_e.html>:

"You can fix this issue by changing the value of

GLCompositorMinimumVRAM

in the file

/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/
CoreGraphics.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Configuration.plist
from 16 to 8. "
