Latest DisplayLink drivers and DirectX fullscreen errors

I'm also having issues with the display link drivers.

After the drivers are installed and even though the USB monitor is not plugged in, most games will not run in fullscreen mode. I believe it has something to do with my laptop running an NVIDIA Optimus setup.

Using the NVIDIA control panel, if I force the game to use my Intel integrated graphics, the game will run. If I give the NVIDIA driver the option to use auto-select or force it to use the NVIDIA processor, the games error out again.

Once I uninstall the DisplayLink drivers, everything works fine again.
