Hi Gregory!

Maybe you should try to get one of those RGB out which should be on the
right side of your iBook to VGA adapters and connect a monitor there.

Either it recognizes the connected monitor immediately or you might want to
try to start your iBook from an external keyboard (one *with* Power button)
while it's closed. That at least helped on a G3 PB with broken LCD although
those have a VGA connector built in without the need of an extra adapter.

Good Luck!
