I finally managed to get my iBook to display the same content on its
internal screen and on the external display (i.e., mirroring aka
cloning), after unsuccessful attempts last year. What I did was just
upgrading the Xserver to Xorg 6.8.2 (I actually used the Debian
package xserver-xorg 6.8.2.dfsg.1- Cool

, and changing the UseFBDev option
to false in the xorg.conf file. Then, if a secondary display is
present when the X-Server is started, the external display displays
the same stuff as the internal display.

Below you find my /proc/cpuinfo and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
