DisplayLink 1.6 causes intermittent screen detection?

Airys · 05-15-2011, 06:32 PM

I have a Newertech USB to DVI device with the DisplayLink 1.6 driver installed on both a new MBP running OSX 10.6.7 and also on a MacPro running 10.5.8
The USB device is attached to a VGA connection that is split via a hardware video splitter to two monitors.

I am running into the same issue with both machines - the display is detected just fine. After that, there is an intermittent flashing of the screens that lasts anywhere from a split second to a whole minute.
It looks like the machines are detecting the displays again and again, yet in between the interruptions, the feed is as it should be.

I can plug this same setup into a newer PC laptop running Windows 7 and it will function with no interruptions to the video feed at all..
