Hello Display Link!

I have an Issue with using my "Kensington - Universal Multi-Display Adapter" with Windows 8 64-bit on my Sony Vaio VPCZ119E. This Laptop has a Hybdrid display adapters, 1 Intel and 1 Nvidia GeForce 330GT. There is no new drivers for Windows 8 available for this Graphics card from Sony, and nVidia doesnt support the special Hybdrid card in their usual driver packages, so I can't change them. But the drivers I've installed are working properly otherwise and they worked just fine on Windows 7 64-bit.
If I use the Intel Graphics card, it works with the multi-display adapter, but only on 1 external screen. My dockingstation to DVI won't work then.

So there is some kind of conflict the drivers and the new driver from DisplayLink. I mean, since the drivers for the graphicscard is working otherwise and they worked properly in Windows 7, I believe that I shouldnt need to replace the driver of the graphicscard.

Is there any new version coming for DisplayLink that might solve this?

Thank you!
