Monitor will not sense sleep mode on dvi, it is always on.

I am on windows 7 x64, and all is well.
EXCEPT: The Displaylink connected monitor does NEVER go to sleep. If the pc sends sleep mode to the lcd's, the displaylink one will display a black picture. If i put my entire laptop to sleep, my monitor says, SIGNAL ERROR, and still never goes to sleep.

May i add that the monitor works flawlessly when under the normal DVI connection.

This IS IMPORTANT. My screen DOES NOT SLEEP, EVER, unless i go the back and flip the switch. This only happens when on Displaylink DVI.

Q: Is this a revision thing? Do i have to return the dock and get a newer one?
