Hi everybody!

I am currently using a Toshiba Satellite P205D-S7802 as my mobile laptop for the time being, and I've been having this irritating problem whenever I try to use the s-video out function of the on-board video card (ATI Radeon X1200 Series). What I'm trying to do is watch a DVD on my television, so I have the TV set as "Extend Main onto TV."

So when I have the movie playing on the television, I close the lid of my laptop and the screen flashes on the TV and finally goes out. Is there a solution to this frustrating problem? I leave my laptop slightly cracked open so I can watch it without problems, but it's starting to get on my nerves.
