I have an ASUS VW223B that runs fine with DisplayLink 4.6.19729 on my DELL PowerEdge T608 with two quad core Opterons using Windows Server 2008 x64 (SP2)--running at 1680X1050. The main monitor is a 24" Samsung running at 1920X1200.

The problem comes when I try to add a third (and fourth) monitor using Diamond BVU160 display adapters. Adding a third causes both of the DisplayLink connected monitors to fail. There seems to be no way around this.

I did try, on another machine running Windows 7, to run these added monitors. The first worked fine (didn't even require a reboot), but adding the second caused a complete failure: blue screen of death!

I too am very anxious to have this problem solved. It seems to me to be relatively simple.

By the way, it appears that ASUS has dropped any relationship with DisplayLink; I am not surprised! There are a lot of people with DisplayLink trying to run on Windows Server 2008 x64. We deserve some help from DisplayLink!
