I've been using my DisplayLink USB video card for over a year on OS X Snow Leopard. I upgraded to Lion and installed the 1.7 Beta 3 driver and it caused big problems. Rebooting goes to a gray screen & I never get to a login prompt. It doesn't matter if the DisplayLink unit is plugged in or not.

The only way to recover my computer is to book it Safe Mode, uninstall the driver and I can use my computer again. The 1.7 Beta 3 seems very buggy. Clearly it works for *some* people but definitely not for *me*. Later I tried it again, and same problem. Gray screen, computer hangs and won't get to a login screen.

I'm running a 17" unibody Macbook Pro from 2009.
