Default Win8, J5 Create, & Display Link all at the same time.

Okay, so, I have both a Display Link (195) and a J5 Create (Jua210). I'm trying to get them both running at the same time under Win8.

J5's driver install complains if there is another usb video adapter installed and will not install. In Windows 7, I solved this by installing J5 and THEN the Display Link (DL was perfectly happy to install alongside J5). This all worked out fine and I was able to use both under Win7.

Enter the Beast: Windows 8. This Beta driver works alone. The J5 driver works alone. Obviously J5 install still whines if DL is in first. So I tried the old J5 and THEN DL solution. The results were... strange.

The J5 keeps on working, and the DL installs with no errors. During "First Run Configuration" of the DL, it does the screen blink thing. Well in the end, I end up with the J5 on, the DL on, but my main display shows black (backlight on, cannot see windows or cursor). If I click the "bring my taskbar to this monitor" button at the lower left of the taskbars of the other windows, whichever one I put the main taskbar on, goes black. I can move around the black one in this manner, but all of them will never show.

I'm not sure if this qualifies as a bug or not since I was kinda roughly patching it together in the first place, but I thought I should at least post the results and see if anyone had any thoughts.
