I emailed him earlier to ask if he found a solution and he said "My machine has a mini display port on
it, so I'm basically not using the display port in the docking station and
plugging three plugs (USB, MiniDP and power) into the laptop to get it to
work."

So it sounds like that setup is working correctly for him, but the displaylink setup is not.

On my system I have a 27" thunderbolt display from Apple that's running off of my macbook pro's display port. When I move windows around everything is super smooth, like it's running at 60 frames per second or higher. When I drag to the other monitor being run through the display port everything gets super choppy, like it's running at 15-20 frames per second. There is also some screen tearing that occurs.
