Default Diamond BVU1000 and Samsung T260HD

I purchased the BVU1000, which I understand has the DL-165 chip in it and is supposed to be capable of 1920x1080 resolution. I am using Mac OSX 10.6.7 and the display drivers downloaded from this site. The monitor does work when lower resolutions are chosen, but I purchased the device to be able to use 1080p. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Can you run the DisplayLink Diagnostics tool linked from http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=269? That will provide some debugging information.

FYI, the T260HD has a native resolution of 1920x1200. 1920x1080 looks weird on it, or is letterboxed.

Here is the log file. I would be happy to get black bars on my display, but I just get a message of "Mode is not supported".

Is that a message from the monitor, or from the Mac? The monitor is sending a max resolution of 1920x1200 and the DisplayLink is saying it can do up to 1920x1080.

Does the Mac let you select 1920x1080 and the monitor complain about it, or is something else going on?

I have a T260, so I can try it with my DL adapter later today.

I select 1920x1080 on the Mac display adapter settings page and my monitor gives me a message that "Mode is not supported". The Mac doesn't even seem to notice - i.e. it thinks there is still a 3rd screen with stuff on it.

Also, the DisplayLink resolutions only go to 1920x1080 there is no 1920x1200 choice (as I expected.) There is a 1920x1080 choice and that is the one that doesn't work. BTW, 1600x1200 works just fine (with black bars on monitor as expected.)
