Screen not entering power save mode

Hi,

I have a Macbook Pro 2010 model running Snow Leopard and DisplayLink 1.6 with a Kengsinston USB to DVI adapter.

Previously I had a Sony monitor attached to my with no issue. I recently upgraded my monitor to Dell U2410 and the monitor does not go into 'power save' mode when the computer asks the display to sleep. The monitor goes black but the backlight is still illuminated. The primary monitor (another Dell 2410) attached to the mini-DVI port goes into 'power save' mode as expected.

I've swapped monitors and cables to confirm there is not an issue with either and am convinced that the issue is associated with the DisplayLink / Monitor combination.

Any assistance is appreciated.
