Have an issue that I've been living with for awhile now, more annoyance but I'd 
like to find a fix for it.

I have an up to date Fedora 23 install, the system has an nvidia quadro K420 
card and I'm (at the moment) running the NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-361.28.run drivers 
locally compiled.  I have a dual head setup and it works great with two 
exceptions.

1.  If the screen goes blank due to inactivity when I wake it up the dual head 
is borked up.  Either one monitor is left asleep or the monitors mirror each 
other instead of a spanned desktop.  I have to run the nvidia-settings utility, 
reset the configuration and then all is well until the next time the screen 
goes into it's blank/sleep mode.  I can't disable all the power save stuff to 
keep the screen from going blank and/or locking the desktop.

2.  If I switch over to another computer plugged into the same KVM (linkskey) 
and then switch back usually the right monitor blinks and the spanned desktop 
then comes back but all my open applications have relocated to the left 
monitor.  they had been spread out across the desktop.

I've tried the kmod/akmod drivers in the past and saw similar behavior.  For me 
at least getting the drivers from nvidia and running their installer has always 
seemed to be more stable even with this annoying behavior.

Anyone know of what I might do to get rid of this annoyance?
