Mac 1.7 beta 3 not working with OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511)
 
Same result as beta 2. Once the driver is installed, the machine no longer presents a login screen on boot. A hard reboot (power-cycle) in Safe Mode (shift key, held down) is required to get to the login screen. Once logged in, the driver can be uninstalled, and the machine returns to it's previous state.

Please advise.

Bigduke,

If the monitor that has the system menu bar is the DisplayLink monitor, what happens if you switch the menu bar to another monitor? That solved my problem.

The login screen is a bug specific of model with the 9400 chipset (Apple bug). If you have a dual GPU machine, you can switch to use only the 9600 card (disable automatic graphics switching in Energy Saver and reboot). This should fix the issue, but unfortunately you could experience other issues (relate to the same bug).
We do hope to have a patch from Apple soon.

Would an apple fix also cure the drag and not drop bug?
That's the reason I can't install the driver atm, even when the adapter isn't connected.

Yes, an Apple fix would also cure the drag and no drop issue.

1.7 Does not Work with Lion
 
Same problem, no login screen. Had to boot in safe mode and uninstall the driver to use my computer again. MacbookPro

On my MBP OSX 10.7.1 (9400M/9600M GT) I don't have "automatic graphics switching" under "Energy Saver" settings.

However, I have under Graphics:
( ) Better battery life
(X) Higher performance

For now I've removed the drivers and dropped back to two monitors as even running in high performance mode still has issues with the keyboard, performance and drag 'n drop weirdness.

Yes, "Higher performance" is the correct option. We are waiting for a patch from Apple for these issues.
