D5000 + No Display via DisplayLink

esmith13 · 10-27-2015, 01:36 PM

I have a few dozen Dell Precision M6500 laptops that are 6 years old running Win 7 x64. They ran DisplayLink great. I just upgraded all the laptops to Dell Precision M4800's and I can't get stable/regular use out of any of my DisplayLink based AOC USB monitors at all on them. I do not use Dell USB docks but I noticed Dell pre-loads the laptops with the D5000 docking software. I am starting to think there is a software conflict between the D5000 software and DisplayLink drivers from this site. Perhaps the D5000 uses a DisplayLink chipset for video?
Whenever I load the driver here and have issues (was 7.9M2 at the time) and then try to uninstall the D5000 software for testing it asks my permission to remove Display Link?!?

In my use case I do not need any USB docking software - i just want to get my AOC USB monitors working. I am about to try cleanly removing the D5000 software and DisplayLink and just reloading the DisplayLink software from this site (now version 7.9M3) and see how it goes.
