Lenovo z61t and external screen

Hi everyone,

I have a Lenovo z61t laptop that I've been using in conjunction with a Samsung 46" LCD TV.

Before I upgraded my Intel integrated 945 video card drivers to the latest 6.14.10.4926 drivers, I was able to use my TV as an extended desktop even when the laptop lid was down.

But now, for some reason, whenever the laptop lid is down, it loses the extended desktop and the laptop's main screen is transferred to the Samsung TV. I've tried switching back to the old driver versions but it doesn't matter - I can't get it to ignore the closed lid and keep the extended desktop on the TV.

I have it set to do nothing when the lid is closed (both in Windows and in the Thinkpad software).

Any suggestions? Going kind of nuts here!
