[Michael Neuffer <neuffer@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can confirm that, as of today the latest BIOS for the Dell Precision M4800 is A09. 
The problem still exists with this BIOS version.

BIOS version A10 was made available only for a very short period and then replaced 
again with A09, since it tended to brick the machine.

Bug description:
  Also affects nvidia-graphics-drivers-319

  The effect is identical to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/958279
  but with Nvidia instead of AMD/ATI drivers.

  HW is Dell Precision M4800 with GK106GLM [Quadro K2100M] and QHD+
  display

  Once the display shuts off, it will not be woken up anymore and the screen stays dark.
  Only a restart of the Xserver will bring back the display at that point.

  A cycle of
  xset dpms force off; sleep 30; xset dpms force on
  will leave the display dark.

  At the moment I help myself by not allowing DPMS to switch off the display:
  neuffer@charion:~$ xset dpms 0 0 0

  neuffer@charion:~$ xset -q -d :0.0
