I have seen a number of threads on this but need some help with stabalizing this config.
My MBP is from late 08 with 4 gig of memory and the 2.53 gig core 2 duo, lots of free disk, OS is 10.5.8.
I have an EVGA UV Plus that can do up to 1600 by 1200 with USB to DVI and I also use the Apple display port to DVI so run either two 20 inch LCD's or the two 20's and my macbook pro. I do a lot of work with VM's so great to have lots of screens.
I keep my USB driven LCD either running a virtual machine or something static, no movies, hulu, etc but the Dell LCD regularly goes into energy saver mode and all the screens blink/flash, etc. In some cases the app on the USB-LCD moves to a different screen, sometimes it just takes 10 seconds to come back to normal. Sometimes it will run for 2-3 hours and not do this, sometimes it will do this "energy save" process every 3-5 minutes for an hour until I get annoyed and unplug something.
Any thoughts on how to configure this, tweak settings, etc. I have set my MBP to use no power save features when plugged into power and went through the Dell LCD menu's as well.
Thanks in advance
