Dynadock vs Toshiba P875 USB 3.0 issues

Ok, the firmware update has made things a bit better. I still get an occasional USB connection bing for no obvious reason, but the display does not blink off and on. (I'd actually done the firmware update earlier, but one of the 7x driver versions I had tried to fix other problems proceeded to reverse it.)

With one exception: I have (well, HAD) windows 8 configured to turn off the display a minute before going to sleep. When that event occurs, the external display goes off, the system bings a couple of times, and the external display comes back on. And, it appears that this activity is enough to convince win8 that the system is in use, so the sleep timer gets reset. As a result the system never sleeps.
