nvidia display wakeup problems

Has anybody seen this behavior or know how to try troubleshooting it?

I installed nvidia-glx driver on 7.04 using synaptic and modified my
xorg.conf to use nvidia on my Toshiba Porgege S100. Everything seems to
work okay except with the display goes into sleep mode. I have to use
Control - Alt F2-F5 then control - alt F7 to get it to wake up. When I
connect my external monitor to the laptop the mouse and any key will
wake up that monitor. I've search google without any real results, I've
read the nvidia web page help file and man xorg.conf which is way above
my knowledge of understanding. I've even tried upgrading to
nvidia-glx-new but that seems to work but will not fully place the
display in a black screen sleep mode (back light doesn't turn off but
will turn the display gray), so switch back to the nvidia-glx.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Gary
