Have you noticed if this crash happens after you attempt to show desktop or using exposé? If it seems to coincide with one of those actions, you might check out this thread: http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?p=74637

I suggested running the following commands in terminal to basically disable the animation that takes place when showing the desktop/exposé:

Code:

MyCompy:~$ defaults write com.apple.dock expose-animation-duration -float 0
MyCompy:~$ killall Dock

I haven't had a Window Server crash since setting the animation duration to 0 (nearly a year now). I will note that my DisplayLink driver is version 2.3.58024.0. I haven't upgraded to any of the 2.4 beta versions because this has been so stable for me since disabling the animations, but I might give it a try anyway soon.

Hope that helps!
