Hi,

With Displaylink uninstalled, if I plug my i7 MBA (10.7.2) into an external monitor via a TB-DVI adapter with the lid closed, the display switches to the external adapter when I click on the USB keyboard. Great, awesome.

Install Displaylink 1.7. Monoprice DL adapter unplugged. Plug in TB-DVI and USB keyboard. Click on the USB keyboard and the Apple logo lights up. The display is running on the closed lid. In order to switch to the external display, I have to open the lid, log in, click restart and shut the lid quickly. Only upon restart will the display switch.

I worked with Apple support on this and we confirmed it was the Displaylink driver. Any help here? Glad to try some beta code.
