The 9400M is part of a Macbook Pro. I can't switch to another video card.

I don't really wanna test it since this is my production machine, can't afford down time.

+1 on beta 3, please release soon!

1. If I have autologin disabled then the system boots to the login screen but doesn't display any users. Basically, all I see is the gray wallpaper.

2. Once I enable autologin, the restart is gets me into my desktop. From there the dock is non-editable. For instance, try to drag an app into the dock. You cannot. You have to launch the app, right click on the icon in the dock, go to options, keep in dock. You also cannot remove an app, by dragging it out of the dock.

3. The system takes a lot longer to shut down and reboot.

Once I remove the driver, the system functions normally. The display hooked up to the displaylink adapter does work, but these performance issues make it hard to keep it installed and in use.

At the moment the only known issues with auto-switching enabled are related to hardware-accelerated rendering (like Firefox and VLC issue). It seems a sort of an erroneous shared context (we had a similar issue on 10.6.4, then fixed by Apple in a later release). No kernel panic or "unsafe" issue are reported.

Your system profile reports that the system has a 9600m card beside to the 9400. In order to switch to the 9600m just disable the "automatic graphics switching" option in System Preferences - Energy Saver. Thanks

Just another couple of checks for the dock issue, could you please run the following command in a Terminal and post the output:
ls -al ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist

The dock could be non-editable if the permissions on this file are set as read only for the user.
Could you also please check in the Accounts preferences if the Parental control is active (there is an option called "Allow User to Modify the Dock")?
Thanks for your help
