Hello,

I installed the 1.7b3 driver today. The display works correctly for me with the following issues:

1. I got the never-ending pinwheel-of-doom after locking my screen. This worked once, but the second time, it failed.

2. There is an odd issue - not sure if it is DisplayLink or just OS X Lion - but when you first boot and log in, you cannot drag-and-drop files anywhere. You can initiate the drag operation, but when you release the mouse button, nothing happens. The only way to clear the mouse is to click the apple menu and/or press escape. This behavior goes away if you sleep the mac and then wake it back up.
