DisplayLink Forum - View Single Post - Displays switching position on (some) boots

I have the same problem on Windows 7 32bit with two monitors on a nvidia 7900 card and the extra one on the usb sabre displaylink adapter.

But mine switches the screens around while I'm working on the PC and not just on boot or wake from sleep.

I'll have firefox in monitor 3 (the one plugged to displaylink) and another program or file opened in each of the other screens. For no understandable reason and without warning monitor 3 changes places with monitor 1.

My desktop doesn't change as I have it in the middle on monitor 2. It's just the two outside monitors trade places. When looking in the displaylink manager the monitors haven't really changed places as far as comparing the monitor model to the order (1,2,3). It just switches the display between the two. It's like displaylink doesn't know it's right from left.

I'm running the default aero theme and have the latest displaylink drivers installed.

Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Thank you

Just realized this is under Mac software but it seems to be a displylink issue regardless of the OS so I'll leave it here.
