We’re waiting to hear back from DisplayLink for further details on this issue. But we weren’t able to reproduce this problem through normal usage of the dock, even after downloading/uploading large files. In our testing we’ve hit one specific scenario that causes the dock to disconnect from the host machine – after we perform tests repeatedly, the upload speed eventually reaches 0, and connected displays begin to flash on and off. 7.2 also includes a re-vamped NIC driver and firmware for the UD-3000 docking station.Keep in mind that these PowerVR based devices have a total display size limitation (which includes the native screen) of 4096×4096, so will that’ll typically only be enough for 1 external monitor to be used. These are typically on low-end Windows 8 tablets. 7.2 is now compatible with devices using the newer Intel Atom chipsets with PowerVR graphics (the Clovertrail and Medfield lines).We were able to play Netflix and Hulu via the Metro app after upgrading to 7.2 (make sure to reboot after upgrade) Fixed an issue on Win 8 with Metro video playback apps not working when in the presence of DisplayLink driver.7.2 is now compatible with the latest version of Chrome. Fixed an issue with a recent Chrome update causing the browser to hang when driver v7.1 is installed on the system.In our testing we experienced no delays opening Metro apps. Fixed issues with Metro apps sometimes taking an extra 10-15s to open on any screen when DisplayLink drivers are installed.So far we’ve been able to confirm the following key fixes for this driver release: Wait for the install to complete, and reboot to finish it off. This will result in a few minutes of on/off blank screens and Windows Plug and Play complaining about no driver in the middle of the process. Note: The DisplayLink installer will uninstall older DisplayLink drivers, update firmware on the device, and install new drivers. We recommend downloading this driver version for all USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 Plugable display adapters and laptop docking stations, for all versions of Windows.ĭownload DisplayLink Windows Driver v7.2 M0 Among other things, we’re excited that it fixes a number of recent compatibility and performance issues found with Windows 8 Metro apps. We’ve been testing it here at Plugable and so far the results are very positive. Yesterday DisplayLink released the latest driver v7.2 M0 for Windows.
