    I have a Toshiba Satellite X205-S9359. I have the DVI out going to my 52" Samsung LCD tv. I watch movies from the notebook on the tv. Everything's fine until the notebook goes to sleep. When I click the mouse and wake the notebook up, the display is no longer on my 2nd monitor, the tv. I have it set to run each monitor independently(Dualview). I've tried going into the settings for multiple monitor setup, but it won't detect the tv no matter what I try. The only way I can get the notebook to detect the tv is to restart, which takes several minutes. The graphics card is a Geforce 8700M GT. Drivers are updated. Any ideas? Running Vista Ultimate.
