Default DisplayLink Driver causes problem with MBP Display

Hello All

I tried installing the latest beta driver on my 10.6.4 machine, and was having issues initially. At first one of my two USB external monitors was blinking. I since discovered this to be a power problem through the USB hub. However, in the interim I downgraded to the latest released driver to attempt to solve that problem. After figuring out that it was a power issue, I installed the beta driver again.

Now, however it left my a problem whereby my external monitors would work, but when I booted my MBP on its own, the internal display no longer worked (it was simply a screen of horizontal blue lines). Since I had only just installed the MBP I didnt have a Time Machine backup yet.....so I had to reinstall again.

Now I am concerned that installing the displaylink drivers will set me back to square one.

Anyone see this issue before? Or have any recommendations? Obviously I will be taking a TM backup before installing anything this time around :-)

Thanks
Ken
