K. Summary of Software State and Issues - Vista WDDM
====================================================
K1. Vista WDDM graphics card support
------------------------------------
Because of restrictions in Vista WDDM support for graphics cards, the
DisplayLink software works closely with the graphics drivers for
the PC's graphics card. We support interworking with single graphics
cards from Intel, ATI, Nvidia and Via. We have interoperability
tested against a representative selection of each of these cards, and
continue to expand our test coverage in this area.
We cannot exclude severe problems in the case of graphics cards or
driver versions that have not been interoperability tested with
DisplayLink software. Should such problems arise,
- First, upgrade to the latest graphics drivers for your PC. Latest
drivers can be found on the PC manufacturer's or graphics card
manufacturer's website.
- Second, upgrade to the latest DisplayLink software available for
your device. Use 'Check now...' from the DisplayLink GUI to find and
download latest software.
- If this does not help, please inform your DisplayLink device
manufacturer's support line. Please give these details:
+ PC make, CPU and memory
+ graphics card make, model and driver version.
Known issues - general
DisplayLink screens are not supported on systems with two graphics
cards used simultaneously (supporting separate screens, or in SLi or
Crossfire configuration). (1704)
Known issues - Intel graphics
Some applications expect a maximum of two screens attached to the PC
and may not work well when there are more than two screens, for
instance where there is a main screen and two DisplayLink screens.
Examples found so far include the Intel screen management utility
(igfxext.exe). (1888)
Some laptops have Fn+F7 type hotkeys to switch between multiple
monitors. The hotkeys may not work once DisplayLink software has been
installed and a DisplayLink screen is attached. This is a consequence
of the problem mentioned above. (2277)
Some older versions of Intel graphics drivers will cause corruption on
the Nivo screen. The solution is to upgrade them to version
7.14.10.1111 or later. This is with Vista WDDM. (2164)
Users of Vista WDDM with Intel graphics should exercise caution if
using two or more DisplayLink screens at a time. Very occasionally,
mode changes or detach/reattach of two Nivos at once has been observed
to cause a complete machine lock-up. (2264)
Known issues - ATI graphics
The ATI Catalyst Control Centre is a tool provided by ATI to control
ATI graphics cards. In the presence of DisplayLink attached screens,
some parts of the tool, such as its adjustments submenu, do not work.
This is on all OSes. (1596)
Some versions of the ATI Catalyst Control Center crash in the
presence of DisplayLink software. This has been observed with versions
since ATI driver version 8.360. (2054)
Known issues - Nvidia graphics
With Vista, a maximum of four DisplayLink screens are supported on
machines with Nvidia graphics. In certain rare cases, exceeding this
has been seen to cause repeated serious crashes. (1781)
On Vista WDDM, older versions of Nvidia drivers with versions prior to
7.15.11.146 can behave badly in the presence of DisplayLink software.
For instance they can cause blue screens when applications are
maximised on DisplayLink screens. Also, if DisplayLink devices are
attached or detached during restart, it may be necessary to press the
reset button on the PC to restore normal functioning. (2119)
K2. Normal use
--------------
System behaviour with up to six DisplayLink attached screens has
been well tested. Testing covers plug/unplug, mode changes, playing
video, hibernate, sleep/standby, multiple users, different user rights,
attached screen as primary screen, attached screen as only screen,
and other aspects.
There are many minor issues. General recommendations if something
goes wrong:
- detach then reattach the DisplayLink device's USB cable
- change display settings using DL-GUI
- change display settings using WDP.
Known issues - hibernate / sleep / monitor power save / screensavers
On Vista, very occasionally, DisplayLink devices fail to resume from
hibernation or sleep. This is due to issues in the Vista USB subsystem.
Hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941600 should help. (2126)
On Vista WDDM, DisplayLink attached screens can be slow when resuming
from hibernation or sleep. (2165)
On all OSes, the desktop background is occasionally missing after
restart or after resume from sleep or hibernation. The screens are
still usable, and the background can be set again to the desired
picture. (2154, 2072)
On all OSes, detaching or attaching DisplayLink attached screens while
a screensaver is running may cause strange effects. Sometimes it is
necessary to detach and reattach the DisplayLink attached screen after
exiting the screensaver. (1984)
3D screensavers do not run well on DisplayLink devices and can cause
flicker. This is on all OSes. (1150, 1177)
If devices are detached from the PC before going into standby, then
reattached during standby, very occasionally they may not resume when
the PC comes out of standby. If this happens, detach and reattach the
devices to make them work again. (1492)
Known issues - other
Vista WDDM: it's best to avoid switching between 32 bit and 16 bit
colour quality on DisplayLink attached screens. Occasionally, this
causes the DisplayLink screen to stop working. Detach and reattach it
to get it to work again. Very occasionally, this has caused a complete
machine lock-up. (2070, 2260)
On Vista WDDM, if a DisplayLink screen is primary, it is not possible
for another DisplayLink screen to mirror it. (1870)
CRT monitors may show speckles at very high resolutions. This is
because the DisplayLink device cannot always support the high pixel
clock required with high CRT refresh rates. (2155)
The Transient Multimonitor Manager (TMM) is a component of Vista that
manages external screens. Unfortunately, it behaves very badly in the
presence of DisplayLink software. It is therefore disabled when
DisplayLink software is installed, and re-enabled when DisplayLink
software is uninstalled. (1831)
After a reboot, the numbers used in Windows Display Properties to
identify the attached screens may change. This is normal. (596)
On Vista WDDM, when using the DisplayLink GUI to set rotation,
occasionally the screen rotation will fail to match the GUI's rotation
setting. To fix this, apply the setting again, or retach and reattach
the DisplayLink screen. (2186)
K3. Video players, rendering technologies and applications
----------------------------------------------------------
On Vista WDDM Aero, video playing largely works. Video playing and
rendering using hardware overlays is not supported. The following
players work:
- Windows Media Player 11
(www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/default.mspx)
- WinDVD 8 (www.intervideo.com)
- PowerDVD 7 (www.cyberlink.com)
- RealPlayer 11 (www.real.com).
This table shows what rendering interfaces are supported:
Interface Supported on Vista WDDM Aero?
DxVA Yes, if supported by the GPU
D3D Yes, but not if the DisplayLink screen is primary
DirectDraw Yes
OpenGL Yes, but not fullscreen, windowed only
GDI+ Yes, but not fullscreen, windowed only
On Vista WDDM Basic, video is not supported. It may work in some
cases but exhibits poor performance. It may stop working after an
update from Windows Update that affects the graphics subsystem.
On all platforms, depending on the player, there may be problems if
the video window is moved between screens while video is running. It
may be necessary to close and restart the video player.
With Vista WDDM, on some lower-spec PCs, videos on DisplayLink attached
screens pause frequently for several seconds at a time. This is because
there is insufficient system performance to display video smoothly.
(1798)
Known issues - general
Don't change the display mode, position or arrangement of attached
screens while a video is running. This usually confuses the video
player and the video may stop playing. (1982)
On Vista WDDM, video players sometimes use hardware overlays to display
video. DisplayLink software does not support hardware overlays and
these videos do not display on DisplayLink screens. Examples: PowerDVD
7 uses overlays when playing DVDs and so cannot display DVDs on
DisplayLink screens. vlc can be configured to use overlays and will not
work on DisplayLink screens if so configured. (1807)
On Vista WDDM, some graphics-intensive applications use the GDI or
OpenGL interfaces. On DisplayLink attached screens, such applications
can display in a window but not full screen. Examples of such
