Same here with Fujitsu AH530 and Samsung TV (connected via HDMI). Confusing point: I also installed XBMC ,which should be shared with "twin-view" option (xrandr .....--same as LVDS1). When I´m using XBMC in full-screen mode, it is working well !! The Samsung TV is blanking for ~2sec. when the laptop-lid is closed but then it starts again and works correctelly. I´m using XBMC only in application form, not in "stand alone mode".
