Apple iBook does NOT have DVI Output

I won a eBay bid on Apple mini DVI to DVI adapter and planned to use it to connect to my Dell LCD monitor’s DVI port.

But, I was wrong!
Apple iBook does NOT have DVI output! The mini DVI like port on iBook is actually only a Video Out Port, which does not support DVI.

Apple-Mini-Dvi
Left: mini DVI port. Right: iBook video out.

My two cents

A lesson learned. The mini DVI to DVI adapter is for PowerBook, not for iBook. iBook does not has DVI output.

The original 12 inch model PowerBook (867MHz) has the same miniVGA output. It sucks.
