2.2 fixed the CPU overload issue for me

Just had this happen again this morning after upgrading to the latest beta drivers last week... distnoted goes nuts and causes CPU spikes and fan spin ups. I have to disconnect the DisplayLink device and wait about five minutes. If I just try to plug it right back in, or immediately into a different USB port, nothing happens. Dang! I was really hoping the new drivers might magically fix this.

The only reproduction we have so far of the high CPU is connected to a notification icon for Chrome suddenly starting to update at rates much higher than 60Hz.
Maybe it's connected...
I found an interesting post here:

Can you think about any specific application you are using?
