Default Screensaver starts while working

I am running the latest driver with the BVU195 on a Early 2011 Macbook Pro running 10.7.3. Whether I have the USB adapter connected or not, my laptop will enable the screensaver nearly every fifteen minutes. This is regardless what I'm doing. I have searched the forums and found one article with the same symptom but no resolution. I have tried driver version 1.7, 1.7B2 or 1.7B3.

Any thoughts? My log collection is attached.

Thanks

I'm seeing the same behaviour.

I have a MacBook Pro, Mac OS X 10.7.3 and just installed the most recent DisplayLink drivers from the website, v1.7 (8 Dec 2011). I've not yet tried the "1.8 Alpha 1" driver, but will attempt to when I get time. Would be interested to hear if others have tried it out yet...?

I haven't even received the USB-DVI adaptor yet, but installed the driver since I expect to receive it in the mail in the next day or two... this isn't a great sign to be experiencing annoyances before I even get the device

I see something same but it seems more systemic.

1) If my thunderbolt displays are plugged in then I can even login the login screen is obscured by the screen saver.
2) some application no longer see me as active but think I am idle all the time
3) the screen saver will suddenly appear when I login
4) the screen saver will randomly appear.

Exclamation Screensaver obscures login, randomly appears, idle timer issues.

The screensaver appears at login window ( so i have to reboot as I can't login ) if my thunderbolt displays are attached.
Idle timer of many applications seems to think I am always idle.
screensaver just randomly appears

I am using newest 1.8a1

When I remove display link driver all back to normal.

I recently upgrade from a 9400/9600GT based macbook to the newest model, but I am don't think any breadcrumbs got left?

Default Same issue...Screensaver starts randomly

I just start using the DisplayLink at home for 1 of 2 HP IPS monitors. I am having the same issue. The screensaver starts up intermittently; I can't detect a pattern or action that causes it, and no hot corners, special actions are set to make this happen.

It did not happen until I installed the displaylink software.

Any progress on this?

None I have worked around it for now.

Everytime I get back to the login screen it has a screensaver appear.
I am unable to use fast user switching but if I login in to one account I can work around it.

Default Same issue, even when not using display link adapter

When I just have a 2nd monitor plugged into the macbook pro with thunderbolt, the screensaver just starts randomly. I think it's supposed to "dim" at that point but then it just goes into full screensaver. Any update on this?

Default Exact Same issue OSX 10.7.4 / Driver 1.8a

Just started running DisplayLink and yes I have the same issue: every so often the screen saver kicks in while working. Goes off as soon as carry on working (i.e. any keyboard/mouse input), but it's a real pain to have the screen go blank so often.

I don't want to have to not have a screen saver.

Any update / ideas ?

Macbook Pro, OSX 10.7.4, DisplayLink driver 1.8 a1

Default Similar problem

I have two external monitors running on my MacBook Pro Mid-2012 running OS 10.7.4. One through the display port and the other using the display link usb adapter. The screen saver comes on randomly, while using the mouse and keyboard. The monitors are constantly powering off and on and the one attached via the USB adapter will sometimes lose a data connection and the usb cable removed and then reinserted into the MacBook port.

I tried the DisplayLink driver 1.7 and also 1.8a1. Neither works properly. I had to revert to 1.7 to get the monitor using the USB adapter to work at all.

Thumbs down Is there anybody out there?

Amazing no one from displaylink has replied or issued a patch for this.

I get better support for Wordpress plugin developers...highly disappointed. Perhaps time to see if there is another vendor who will support their offering.

Bugs aren't an issue; Ignoring them is.
