I bought a DisplayLink adapter from OWC a year or two ago, currently running the 1.5 release on 10.6.6. I'm trying to find out what model it is, though I might just try 1.6b3 anyway to see if it solves the GUI freeze problem, which is my only complaint; otherwise it works great on my unibody mini.

The adapter is white, says "Arkview USB2 Display Adapter" and "Viewplex" on the front; back is "SN 23918E090102290", "USB-1612", and "USB 2.0 Graphic Adapter-White". Here is the System Profiler entry:

WS Tech USB-DVI:

Product ID: 0x0198
Vendor ID: 0x17e9 (DisplayLink (UK) Ltd.)
Version: 0.04
Serial Number: 0198-128649
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: DisplayLink
Location ID: 0x26440000
Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 500

The models that 1.6b3 supports are in the readme:

- DL115 / DL125 / DL165 / DL195 devices are supported.
- DL120 / DL160 devices are supported.

Best guess I can make is that mine is a DL198. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated.
