Lion DisplayLink Problems

I have been using my BVU 195 with beta 4 for about a week now and have noticed a few problems:

1) Slow Performance
Although I have not used the adapter with 10.6, rearranging windows and dragging the mouse around produces a noticeable lag. I am not sure if this is a technological limitation, but it does not live up to the "butter smooth" reviews I have been reading.

2) Display In and Out of Sleep
My adapter is connected to a Dell U2311HM monitor via DVI. After putting my computer to sleep, the main display will turn off while the secondary will sleep then turn on for a few seconds, then turn off, then on, etc.. forever. When its on the screen mentions that it discovered a video source via DVI. I have tested this monitor connected directly to the laptop and it sleeps perfectly.

3) Negative/Weird Colors
After disconnecting the laptop from the monitor, some images on the screen will be unreadable. This includes widgets, drop down menu items and programs including Fire Fox and Outlook. A reset will take care of the problem. It does not always appear, but has occurred a few times so far.
