I have a smilar problem, with the ATI enabled the laptop black screens on startup.
If you disable the ATI x600 in Device Manager (using safe mode) the laptop works fine as the ATI is not being used.
Solution is to replace the ATI x600, which unfortunately is a specialist job as this is soldered directly onto the motherboard. Or replace the motherboard.
I have located a company in Manchester (called CRM) that repairs HP computers, and they can repair/replace the ATI for around £175, or replace the motherboard for about £250. Replacing the board gives you a 12months warranty. add VAT to those figures. There phone number is 01618881232, I have found them to be very helpful.

After upgrading to Leopard, installing a 500 giga external drive for effortless time machine backups, and a 2.0 gb ram expansion to 2.5, this week I connected an outside monitor to my iMac (a 20 inch Samsung 2043 NWX with a pixel resolution of 1680 by 1050).
It works great. Here is the problem: As my iMac only has display mirroring capabilities (it does not have extended desktop that is available in later models), I cannot turn of the built in display, nor can I toggle between the two.
There is a third party patch that claims it gives my iMac extended desktop, but I do not like to install third party patches on my iMac. Heck, at this point I'm not even sure that with extended desktop I could turn the internal display off to begin with.
The native graphics support card is quite capable: ATI Radeon X600 Pro graphics processor using PCI-Express and a maximum resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels. The status shows it is presently supporting two displays simultaneously: One at 1440 by 900 pixels (my native iMac display), and another of 1680 by 1050 (my 20 inch Samsung).
I tried dimming the display but the control is disabled whilst on video mirroring mode. I tried playing with the internal monitor set up but I cannot set the display to zero using this option either.
Let me know your thoughts please. Best regards, Roberto A. Lovato
