Problems with Windows7/DL5.2RC & portrait mode
Hi,
My end target: - 3 1280x1024 portrait mode displays (2 off a dual headed graphics card, 1 using a Sunweit DL-160 based DisplayLink device). My problem: - I can't get the DisplayLink device to run correctly in portrait mode. - I also can't get it to run anything better than 8-bit color, even though the Windows 7 ScreenResolution/AdvancedSettings/Monitor dialog shows it in 16 or 32 bit color mode. My system: - Dell Optiplex 960. - 32-bit Windows 7, build 7100. - 3 Dell 17" 1280x1024 monitors, oriented vertically (Portrait rotation). - Intel Q45 integrated graphics, or PCIex16 NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS. 1st scenario: - using the Dell's Q45 integrated graphics, with both in portrait: - rotated or not, the DisplayLink output is always 'compressed' to roughly two-thirds of the screen size. It's only compressed in the vertical direction though. NOTE: The only way I could get the DisplayLink output to work correctly was to have ALL displays in normal landscape mode. Even then, the DisplayLink was still only 8-bit color. 2nd scenario: - using the PCIex16 NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS, with both outputs in portrait: - DisplayLink in landscape: output runs correctly at 1280x1024 mode, but only in 8-bit color. - DisplayLink in portrait: again, the DisplayLink output is 'compressed' to roughly two-thirds of the screen size, and with 8-bit color. Debug Tool log attached. Cheers, ronkinoz. |

Hi,
Please make sure you have the latest drivers from both Intel and nVidia, and the latest DisplayLink release. Most importantly though, we have not tested on a pre RTM build of Windows 7 for a long time and the rotation issue is something we certainly had back in February. The 8-bit colour problem is very interesting, and I suggest you check the device on another machine to check that the device is not faulty. Best Regards, Martin DisplayLink |
