i7 MBA 10.7.2 DL 1.7 main display switching issues

Thanks for your report. Yes this is a know issue, there are some problems with the lid mode on Lion. We are able to replicate the issue and we need to work on this.

Awesome, thanks for confirming it. Let me know if you need someone to test it. Glad to help. Apple would like to know as well. If you want, I can share the contact info and case number with you privately.

I think it was working ok with 10.7 and when I went to 10.7.1 is when it broke.

If so, any update from DisplayLink on whether or not this issue is being looked at? It’s increasingly frustrating for those of us who move from desktop to laptop mode regularly.

No, it's a different issue. Unfortunately there is no fix yet for the phantom screen bug, but we will try to fix it.

mikefoley, have you tried detect displays shortcut CMD+F2 (or CMD+FN+F2)?

mikefoley · 01-02-2012, 04:10 AM

No, I haven't tried that but I'll give it a go this week. Right-clicking and selecting "Detect Displays" doesn't work. As Christian said, the bug is in going into lid mode and switching to the external display.

Christian, any update on a fix?

FWIW, I just upgraded my MBA to 10.7.3. No change in behavior. Still need to restart and close lid quickly to make the display port display become the primary.

Any update on an update?

I'm glad to beta something privately.

Yea I'm having the same issue, I also up for private beta if needed.
