With the active window in a display link managed monitor, take a screen shot of an area (Command+Control+Shift+4). Normally, this saves a jpg to your desktop, but nothing happens on my system. Take a screen shoot in another display, and you should get a file out of it.

I see no messages in the log files.

Using 1.5b3 driver, with a manually created System/Extenstions/DisplayLinkdrive.kext/DisplayLinkAgent/(DisplayLinkUserAgent & USBNivoListener).

Same problem here. It appears to work, i.e. the crosshair appears, and the camera sound is made, but no jpg appears on the desktop.

Tried taking a screen shot spanning the USB monitor and the primary monitor. The resulting jpg showed only the portion displayed on the primary monitor.

All in all, however, things work remarkably well.

Thanx for this finding. Seems to be a bug in SnowLeopard as it works in Leopard and Tiger. I've opened a bug at Apple.

Having the same issue with screenshots on DisplayLink connected displays. Worked just fine prior to Snow Leopard upgrade.

Using 1.2b4 on 10.6.1

As said that's a 10.6.* bug which I filed in apples bugreporter already. Let's hope they fix it soon.
