Hi,

I'm running XP under bootcamp on my Rev A MBP, hooked up to an external Samsung display via DVI.

I can't get the MBP screen to switch off when working in closed lid mode.

I've tried the Apple suggestion using the ATI Displays to disable Flat Panel Display, but I can't even find this option!

Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem? I would be most grateful for any ideas or tips.

Many thanks in advance for both your time and help,

Matthew

I think the display-off-when-lid-closed-while-hooked-to-display thingy is a property of OS X, windows doesn't have it so it won't work
