Windows 8.1 and Lilliput 7" issues - Page 4

Hi,

I've setup a machine to investigate this - is there a specific version of Rain meter I should use? Any non default options selected?

Thanks,
James

Hi James,

I think you can use every app. Take a look at my video.
I don't know which Rainmeter-Version was used by armaldon.

Hi,

These steps work for me after first connection of the monitor or after rebooting.

1. Change rotation to any other angle
2. Bring up Metro screen on 7" monitor
3. Select Desktop tile on 7" monitor and you can now see the desktop.

Thanks,
James

Hi James,
I have been using the last version of Rainmeter (3.0.2) and the previous one (3.0). Like Hunv mentioned, it happens with every app.

I just did what you mentioned, and still the monitor shows the same issues. The problem is that when the app in the usb monitor loses focus, it shows the dark color as seen in the uploaded youtube videos.

Hi James,

I did the following:

- Rotate the screens back to the default Landscape-View ("portrait (flipped)" will not work!)
- Apply settings
- Klick on one screen to get the startmenu and select desktop => Looks fine
- Rotate it back to portrait => Still looks fine

But this is just a Work-Around, not a solution. This has to be redone after every reboot.

Wow! Thanks Hunv! I just tried this work around, and I can confirm it works with my MIMO screen. Definitively, not a solution, but still is some progress and I can use my screen temporarily again.

A quick update:

After having it work on landscape orientation, seems the problem has been fixed now after two reboots, as long as it is on landscape orientation.

After making it work on portrait, the error returns after each reboot.

Yes, I confirm this. It is really frustrating, that I have to rotate the screens after each reboot.
Hope this will be fixed by DisplayLink or Microsoft or both as fast as possible. I think there are lots of people with this issue out there.

Hi,

I recognized some new things about this problem.
When I enter my credentials and hit the Enter-Button BEFORE the flashing starting at 0:53 ends, everything is OK - no problems.
If I enter my credentials and hit the Enter-Button AFTER the flashing ends, there is the issue discribed in this thread.
