applications are Starcraft, Quake 3. Also, video players such as
Windows Media Player, WinDVD fail to play in full screen mode on
DisplayLink screens on some PCs. (1655)
On Vista WDDM, applications such as games that use Direct3D will not
display on a DisplayLink attached screen that is set to primary. (1815)
Some players, including Windows Media Player, do not play well on
DisplayLink attached screens which are set as primary. (2084)
Known issues with specific players and applications
On Vista WDDM, if Windows Media Player is moved to the DisplayLink
screen and is then made full-screen, the screen blanks. To get out of
this situation, either double click on the blank screen and the player
window is restored to non-full screen mode, or right click on the blank
screen to invoke the player context menu and select exit full screen.
(2032)
Skype video is believed to be unreliable with Vista. It may cause
crashes.
On Vista WDDM, if WinDVD is asked to play High-Definition content on a
DisplayLink screen, the content will not display and the player may
crash. This is because the player uses hardware overlays, which are not
supported by DisplayLink software. (1986)
On vista WDDM, if PowerDVD 7 is playing video on a DisplayLink attached
screen, and if the screen is rotated, then PowerDVD 7 crashes. The
workaround is to apply rotation to the screen before launching PowerDVD
7. (2013)
K4. Installer and Auto-update function
--------------------------------------
The installer and auto-update function work on all supported operating
systems, both hardware-first and software-first. USB drivers have been
signed.
Known issues
Do not attach two new DisplayLink devices at once as software for one
of them may fail to install. Instead, fully install one device and see
it working before attaching a second device. (2022)
On Vista WDDM, the machine may drop to basic mode when a new
DisplayLink screen is connected. This is because of Vista's normal
performance calculation when new screens are attached. Aero mode can be
restored through Control Panel -> Windows Colour and Appearance -> Open
classic appearance properties for more colour options -> Windows Aero.
(2069)
If you attach a new DisplayLink device, allow software to start
installing, then cancel the install part way through, hardware-first
install may no longer work. To complete the install, it may be
necessary to run setup.exe directly. (1573)
Virus checkers set to very high security may prevent the installer
from running. They should be set to lower security during installation
and restored to high security once installation is complete. (935)
When installing, make sure that only a single user is logged into the
PC. That user needs administrator privileges. (1112)
On PCs where vbscript.dll is not registered with the DLLServer, the
DisplayLink installer cannot run. (1824)
AutoUpdate dialogs and menus are not yet localised in Hungarian,
Portuguese and Traditional Chinese. Other languages are complete.
L. Summary of Software State and Issues - Vista XDDM, XP, 2K
============================================================
L1. 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 annoyances and intermittent issues. General
recommendations when something goes wrong:
- try detaching then reattaching the DisplayLink device's USB cable
- try changing its display settings using the DisplayLink GUI or the
Windows Display Properties dialog box.
Known issues - hibernate / sleep / monitor power save / screensavers
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)
When the machine is set to ask for a password after standby / sleep /
hibernate / screensaver etc, sometimes the login screen displays on
all attached screens and sometimes it displays on a single screen only.
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 - Windows 2000
It is important to check in Windows 2000 that full USB2 is available,
otherwise performance will be impaired. To do this, look in Device
Manager under Universal Serial Bus Controllers for an item called
"USB 2.0 Root Hub". If it is not there then performance will be USB1.
(1188)
On Windows 2000, when many devices are attached to the PC and the PC
is hibernated then woken up, not all the devices come back to life
immediately. It is occasionally necessary to detach and reattach the
USB connection to a device to coax it back to life. (1293, 1302)
Foreign language support on Windows 2000 has not been fully tested.
Known issues - other
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)
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)
After a reboot, the numbers used in Windows Device Properties to
identify the attached screens may change. This is normal. (596)
L2. Video players, rendering technologies and applications
----------------------------------------------------------
On Vista XDDM, video support is very limited. With extended screens,
video or DVD playback are not supported in general. Exceptions:
PowerDVD7 and Quicktime are able to display video on a DisplayLink
attached display, so long as that display is the primary display. Video
is not supported in clone mode. It works, but exhibits poor
performance. (1495)
On XP, video support is limited to players that support hardware
overlays. In extend mode, the following media 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)
There is limited support for other video players, and for video in
mirror mode.
This table shows what rendering interfaces are supported:
Interface Supported on XP extend?
DxVA No
D3D No
DirectDraw Yes
OpenGL No
GDI+ No
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.
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)
Some players, including Windows Media Player, do not play well on
DisplayLink attached screens which are set as primary. (2084)
DVD movies will not play back if they are dragged to an extended
DisplayLink screen while running. They play OK if the player
starts up on the extended screen. (no bug number)
Known issues with specific players and applications
Skype video is believed to be unreliable with Vista. It may cause
crashes (no bug number).
Skype video does not work on DisplayLink screens with Windows XP. This
is because Skype video uses VMR9, which is supported by DisplayLink
software on Vista WDDM, but not on Vista XDDM or on XP. Trying to use
skype video on XP may cause black screens or freeze the DisplayLink
attached screen. (1651)

systems, both hardware-first and software-first. USB drivers have been

(Vista XDDM) Occasionally, after install and reboot, the DisplayLink
devices are not operational. In this case, reboot again and they
become operational. (969)
