External monitor goes to sleep after just 30 seconds

[Mladen Stefanov]

I have Dell E6430 laptop connected to a docking station. External monitor Dell U2410 connected via Display Port cable to the docking station. I turn off the built-in display using nvidia-settings panel and I use only the external one, when docked.

The problem is that after upgrading nvidia-drivers to ver 310, the external monitor goes in power save mode after just 30 seconds of inactivity, ignoring any settings in the KDE control center.

Before the driver was updated I was also running the experimental version (304 I think, I don't remember) and I didn't have this issue.
