Win 7 x64 SP1 Nvidia NVS 3100M monitor sleep problem
I'm having a problem with my Dell e6410 notebook running Win 7 x64 SP1 and an Nvidia NVS 3100M video card with an EVGA UV+ 16 Displaylink external adatpter.
Whenever my monitors go to sleep my primary (notebook) display doesn't power back on. The 2 external monitors I have connected wake up sort of ok if the notebook has recently put the monitors to sleep. I have to press CtrlAltDel to get the main display back on if the monitors have only recently powered off. If the monitors have been in sleep mode for a while the displays just flicker briefly and nothing is displayed on any of them. Either unplugging the USB cable from the UV+ briefly and reconnecting or putting the notebook into sleep mode and then resuming from sleep allows the laptop display to turn on again. This happens with my e6410 docked and the UV+ connected to a USB port on the Dell docking station or if the UV+ is connected directly to the notebook. I've tried completely uninstalling all Displaylink and Nvidia drivers and reinstalling clean and am currently running Nvidia 267.76 and Displaylink graphics driver 5.6.31548.0. For power settings on AC (docked) I have maximum performance for everything with no sleep/hibernate. The only timer I have set is to put the monitors to sleep after x minutes. I used to use this Displaylink powered UV+ with a Lenovo notebook and AMD video card with no issues but have run into this problem after switching to an Nvidia powered notebook. Is there any fix for this other than leaving my monitors on all the time? |

I am experiencing nearly the same issue with my Dell Latitude E6510 w/ Nvidia NVS 3100M under Windows 7 x64. It's driving me nuts, makes using my docked laptop a huge PITA.
Here is a description of what I'm seeing:
I would be happy to provide logs or help with testing if it might lead to this issue being resolved. |

To add to this I've tried Dell Nvidia drivers, Nvidia official drivers and am on the newest Nvidia drivers (270.61 for notebook) with only the graphics drivers installed. I've tried Displaylink versions 5.4, 5.4 and 5.6 with the same results each time.
What makes it even more annoying is that with the Displaylink drivers installed but the Displaylink adapter disconnected and the e6410 undocked I still get issues when the laptop display turns off and I can't get the display back on until I put the e6410 in standby and then remove from standby. Once I remove the Displaylink drivers the issues go away. |

And since the "Ask a Question" page redirected me to a blank page with no confirmation (after I figured out the bogus javascript regexp doesn't allow capital letters in an e-mail address) I'll post the data from the DisplayLink Debugger here.

I'm having the same issue on a Dell E6510 with NVS 3100M with latest DisplayLink Drivers and Latest NVidia Drivers. I have to hit CTRL+ALT+DELETE and then hit cancel and then my laptop monitor comes back on, otherwise it will stay black.

I'm having good results so far with Nvidia's newest drivers (275.33) released this week and Displaylink drivers released April 18 (5.6.31870). The Nvidia drivers need to be downloaded from Nvidia.com rather than Dell.
I've only done one reboot after installing the new Nvidia drivers but so far I can wake up all my screens using the mouse if my Dell 6410 is docked or undocked on battery. Will update next week when I've spent more time working docked. |

The drivers I posted above continue to work well with my docking station and Displaylink powered UV Plus+ 16. I can wake up my monitors by moving my mouse again and when I'm undocked I don't have to use ctrl-alt-del to wake up my laptop display anymore.

Newest driver from Nvidia, result:
a) wake up monitor from idle time out fixed b) system reboots without prompt when undocked Newest driver from Dell (Video), result: a) wake up monitor from idle time out issues (as described above, have to control/alt/delete and fidget to resume) b) system docks/undocks without a problem |
