    Can you do work on your laptop and with it connected to your TV. Have your TV doing some thing else (from your laptop)?

    Like I know with windows 7 you can drag a window from the laptop to your TV.

    Anyone know how to do this or know of any good links?

    :)

    All you'd have to do is set your TV to act as a 2nd display, although this really only works well when you can use VGA or above. S-Video doesn't give near the resolution to be readable.
