Windows 8 + NVidia 9300M GS black screen
*** NOTE!!
This configuration worked in the past with exactly the same hardware on Windows 7 and Windows 8 Release Preview. So there should be a way to fix it!!!! *** HARDWARE - SainSonic UG19D1 USB 2.0 (DisplayLink DL-195 Chipset) (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) -Sony vaio VGN z790 laptop which has a hybrid graphics system (NVidia Geforce 9300M GS + Intel GMA 4500MHD). -2 external 1920 x 1200 Dell screens to the HDMI (provided by the NVidia card) and the DisplayLink adaptor. *** SOFTWARE Windows 8 Pro Displayink latest drivers (7.1 M1) Nvidia Driver version 186.84 (8.15.11.86.84) (Automatically installed by windows - other drivers I can tried do not work) *** PROBLEM I am experiencing very similar issues as the ones described here: http://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1976 In particular: When attaching the Displaylink device while logged in, the 3rd screen is recognized and can be enabled. -If I enable just the 2 identical external displays, the HDMI screen displays normally, the DisplayLink screen turns on and remains black. I can move the mouse and windows over it, but I cannot see anything. -If I enable all three screens, DisplayLink displays a black screen (but signal is available and screen turns on), HDMI screen displays normally, laptop screen turns on and remains black, and the computer hangs. I cannot see/move the mouse. The issue can be solved by either unplugging the DisplayLink adapter, or pressing Windows key + P to switch display mode to a single screen. So the computer still receives events from keyboard, i.e. just the displays are frost. I repeat, exactly the same configuration worked in previous version of windows and previous drivers!!! I have tried everything: -installing previous drivers / disconnecting from the internet so that they don't update automatically -installing/connecting cables in every possible sequence -running windows compatibility modes etc... I am attaching the debug logs, let me know if there is anything else I can do. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nikos Last edited by tsanikgr; 03-12-2013 at 04:33 PM. |
