Hi,

I am trying to get my displaylink product to operate when attached to a Hyper-V virtual machine. I tried XP, Vista and W7 but none of them work. When I start an RDP session to the VM I only see my primary display. When I open the VM from the Hyper-V manager on the physical Hyper-V host I can configure the drivers and screens (yes, I do see both screens) but it doesn't work. The primary screen starts flashing and the USB screen just shows the background or login screen.

Is there a way to make this work? I have a requirement to build about 25 VMs with a displaylink usb monitor and I would really be disappointed if I have to buy 25 computers...

BTW there is absolutely no requirement to have this working from and RDP session, all operations will be done from the USB screen.

Thanks!
