Mac Mini coming out of sleep sometimes cannot switch on monitor

Not sure if anyone else experiences this.

My Mac Mini sometimes wakes up and while I believe the mouse and keyboard are responding fine, the monitor will not connect. In these cases the only work around is to remove the DVI cable from the Displaylink unit, and plug it directly into the back of the Mac mini. This clearly defeats the purpose of having a Displaylink unit.

What is interesting, is that my MacBook never has has this trouble when waking up.

Both computers are running the latest version of Mavericks and the DisplayLink driver. It's almost as if the DisplayLink driver behaves differently across the different video cards the two machines have.
