15" core i7 displaylink woes

I just wanted to report that I'm experiencing the same strange behaviour. New 15" MBP with i7. Fresh install of Snow Leopard 10.6.3.

Even when the DisplayLink adapter is not connected, but my external monitor is connected via mini-displayport, my display will lock up (though I can see the mouse cursor and move it around) if I unplug the mini-display port.

When I boot my MBP with no external monitor (no mini displayport or displaylink) I see my desktop for a split-second and then I get a blue screen with horizontal bars, and again I can just see my cursor and move it around.

Uninstalling the DisplayLink beta drivers fixes the problem.
