Several annoying problems with Lion using 1.7b3
I have a 15-Inch, late 2008 MacBookPro running Lion and when I install the 1.7 beta 3 driver I get several strange things happening. My current setup is:
- 2 brand-new 23'' Dell Monitors - 1 Monitor connected via DVI to the mini port directly on the mac - 1 Monitor connected via DVI to the Plugable USB 2.0 Display Adapter, which is connected directly to USB port on the mac Strange behaviors: 1) The screen saver doesn't work. All I get on the screen is a gray color on both monitors. 2) Flash doesn't get rendered. Tried in Safari, Chrome and Firefox to no avail. 3) Blank screen when viewing a website. When browsing a website, the first time the page loads I can see the content, but right after the browser page goes blank. It happens in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. 4) There's no feedback from a keyboard input. Nothing gets written to the screen when typing on the keyboard. I even tried different keyboards in case one of them were bad but I got the same result on all keyboards. The fix is to restart the computer but even then the same problem starts after a couple of minutes. 5) Mouse cursor ghosting. Sometimes I get a ghost mouse pointer on the monitor connected to the display adapter. 6) Fireworks CS5 crashes. It keeps crashing right after it opens. Any idea how to get these problems fixed, or when and update will be available? Thanks! |

definitely getting cursor ghosting
I came to report cursor ghosting MBP 5,1 15" late 08 as well
very good round up of similar issues that made me uninstall beta3 Komodo. is it only our model? I was surprised beta 3 came out as quickly as it did! Keep up the good work DisplayLink! I will keep a look out for future updates! let us know if we can give you any more information to debug these issues. Last edited by philip; 08-08-2011 at 07:25 AM. |

Thanks for reporting the strange behaviours. Unfortunately all these issues are related to an Apple bug. The bug involves different models equipped with the nVidia 9400 chipset (mainly 2008 and 2009 models). Apple is aware of the bug and we do hope that a fix will be released in the next Lion updates.

After reading this post it sounds like this is not something that you guys are going to be able to do anything about?
Seems a bit out of control with the copying problem. So far this is the only problem that I am having with my system. Are you guys thinking of releasing a B4 with a fix for some of the things that you can control? thanks! |

also, I am running in performance mode which should switch my computer's graphics to the 9600 but the issue still purists. I presume you're saying that doesn't matter? Last edited by philip; 08-08-2011 at 07:30 PM. |

Unfortunately just few problems are fixed switching to 9600, for other issues we must wait for an Apple fix. |
