Am now able to boot,but not seeing in external monitor

[Harish Ravikumar Krishnan]

Hi,
After resetting pram i'm able to get yaboot to work. Can see it if i rapidly 
move my head from side to side in front of my non-working lcd screen and i 
see the choices l,x and so on but it doesnt show on my external monitor. If 
i hit l it only shows up my lcd and not on n the external screen. And since 
i cant see anything I only have the choice of restarting the machine and 
pressing X based on a guess that the yaboot screen will show up in a couple 
of secs. Bottomline--->I can only work with OSX and not ydl though its 
there. Is this a problem with YDL itself that it doesnt support external vga 
monitors. I tried turning off mirroring and it still doesnt work.
Thanx in advance.
Harish.
