Slow Wakeup After Idle

[ynchaustira]

I have two problems using two display link displays connected to my Lenovo W520 Laptop running Windows 8 after allowing the computer to idle for over an hour. They are:

1) My computer is really slow after coming out of idle. If no applications are running on the computer when it enters the idle state, the machine takes about 30 seconds to show me the logon screen. Once I provide my credentials, it takes about 30 seconds to show the desktop. Because of problem 2 below, I press the Windows+P key to extend the desktop, which takes about 60 seconds to show the slide-out menu for extending the desktop to my other monitors.

2) When I bring my computer out of idle, only the LCD display on the laptop displays the Windows desktop. All other monitors are off.

Once I get my machine back to the state where the desktop is extended across all of my monitors, the computer runs fine. My guess is that this has something to do with the GPU power saving mode on the video adapter. Is there anything I can do to overcome these problems?

Thank you for your help in advance.
