Evil [[TOSHIBA]] Satellite P205D-S7802 - Video Out Frustration

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.

Edit: Oh, and here are my specs if anybody needs 'em:

Processor: AMD Turion™ x64 [X2] Mobile Technology TL-58 (two processors)

See your BIOS settings if you can set ACPI to OFF/Disable. I have read also that you can disable ACPI in XP but when you change your mind and want to enable it, you will be forced to reinstall XP. I have not tried either of this yet and I cannot really say if they work.
