Note: Your PowerBook supports the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Data Channel (DDC)
Standard. Specifically, it supports the DDC2B transfer protocol. When a monitor supporting this standard is connected,
the PowerBook automatically recognizes the resolutions the monitor can display. You use the monitor resolution section
of the Control Strip or the Monitors & Sound control panel to change resolution.
