Exclamation Support for Atom powered Windows8 yet?

Hello All,
I've found many posts, notes, and articles relating that there WERE issues with Atom powered win8 devices...

The last driver revision, version 7.0 M3, says clearly in red text that it does NOT support Atom powered Win8 machines.

The current (7.1 M0) driver does NOT give any such warning, more or less implying that there are no longer issues with Atom procs? Can anyone verify?

Currently I'm trying to get an additional display attached to a Samsung ATIV Smart PC (and dock) running Windows 8 Pro x32, and powered by an Atom (Z2760) and accompanying Intel GMA GPU; WITHOUT using the tablet's micro HDMI port.
Have attempted (and failed) using both:
HIS Multiview II (HMV2-Mac-PC)
or
eVGA UV Plus+ (100-U2-UV19-TR)

however the error below occurs regardless of whether the hardware (USB video adapter+monitor) is attached or not.

On every (re)boot, I get a error popping up in the system tray that reads:
"Incompatible display driver
DisplayLink USB Graphics software is not compatible with this graphics card or operating system. Please visit www.displaylink.com/software to check if a newer software version is available."

HAS the issue with Windows8+Atom procs been resolved?
If not, is there an anticipated fix-by goal date?
I need to know whether i need to come up with a totally different solution for my user group or if there's a way to fix my current endeavor.

Thanks in advance to ANY who might shed some light or share some advice!!!
