Overall, the preview drivers are working really well compared to the last 7.2 release. The mouse is very responsive and I don't see as many screen artifacts when typing.

The only thing I still have a problem with is the inability to play encrypted content from Netflix, Hulu and other Windows 8 modern apps.

The scaling issue appears with any monitor, not just DisplayLink attached. This is a half-baked attempt by MS to address usability of the Windows Desktop on small high resolution monitors. Hopefully they will get it sorted out before RTM.

Hi,

I have a laptop, with kensington dock and touch screen (plugged with dvi and usb port).

On windows 8, I needed to unplug and plug the dock (when the pc start is finished) to have touch function activated when I used dock, not when it was connected directly.

On Windows 8.1 and beta displaylink driver, it works!!!

Can displaylink invent a driver that make it works in Windows 8 please?

I'm french so I wish my english is understandable.

Thanks.
