Lion with 1.7b3 and lock screen

I am not yet 100% sure if this has indeed something to do with the Displaylink driver; but as of right now it starts to look this way.

Using my DisplayLink at work with no real issues except for performance (which I hope are due to this being a beta driver); but this past weekend I was having issues every time I let my Mac sit for a while. Connected to the power adapter and energy settings set to have the display go to sleep but not the computer.
If I would let the Mac just sit there for a file (1-2 hours) and then get back on it I would be presented with the screen for my password (as expected) but as soon I would be trying to type something in I would get the beach ball and nothing would work anymore. Even trying to access my Mac remotely would not function.

I tried multiple items to determine why this might be happening. I ended up with uninstalling the displaylink driver and then this behavior stopped.

I do have automatic graphics switching enabled, next I will try with automatic graphics switching disabled and the displaylink driver installed but either way it does seem to be an issue when the driver is installed but no displaylink adapter installed.

I checked all my log files but no entries are being reported for anything at all. Figured I already post something here.

I'm on a 2011 15" Macbook Pro.
