Use a MacBook with the main display off, revisited
Authored by: juanfal on May 04, '07 08:02:24AM

I don't understand where the problem is. I every day go to my work, take off my PowerBook (is the same for MacBook) and without open it I plug in it the ethernet wire, my extended macallyKeyboard+MightMouse usb, and finally the DVI monitor. My PB doesn't wake up until I finally plug-in the PowerAdaptor. I always left this until the end, since then the waking up is made only once after I have plugin the external monitor.

It is clear that the computer doesn't recognize the USB devices until it is externally powered. This is very appropriate and convenient for me and the total process is very confortable and very fast. No need at all to open ever the computer ;)
