Displaylink not playing well with docking station
Hello,
I have a lenovo T430 docked and connected via DVI to an external monitor. It used to dock and undock fine, always keeping my laptop at it's proper resolution, 1600x900. However, I got an AOC usb monitor, and installed the display link adapter, and now if I ever dock/undock or restart, my resolution gets screwed up, and my computer is painfully slow until I get it back right (it can take me up to 10 minutes to get me computer to respond enough to minimize windows so I can click on the desktop and set it). Sometimes, only my laptop appears at a very low resolution, 1280x800, and won't even allow me the option of going back to 1600x900 unless I do extended desktop (even if no other monitors are connected). Any suggestions on how to fix this? |

f/u info
Hi,
The monitor is connected to the docking station, but I've seen the same behavior when attached directly to my laptop's usb port. I am still using the DVI monitor as well, so I have three screens, the lenovo laptop screen, my dvi monitor, and my usb monitor. I've attached the log, which I ran while the monitor was in the wrong resolution. Thanks |

Hi,
It's possible that the graphics card utilities are changing the layout when you hotplug / reboot the PC. To verify this can you download this tool and try disabling the Intel & Nvidia utilities to see if this is the cause for your issue? http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=178 Thanks, James |
