A status-update would be nice, because this issue really sucks.
Just an information for you: For me and my collegues it don't matter if it is a problem with Microsoft or Displaylink or both. For us as an enduser the problem is with DisplayLink, because it only happens with the tiny screens that are using DisplayLink. |

There is no fix DisplayLink can do for this issue. It looks like Windows 8.1 does not support displays with a resolution width of less than 640 pixels. This is probably a design decision by Microsoft.
You get the same behaviour with a directly connected screen, so it independent of DisplayLink's driver. Wim |

We have raised this with Microsoft and they have closed it as invalid. Windows 8 onwards only supports resolutions of 1024x768 and above. They have cited the following references for this:
Windows Certification Newsletter - March 12, 2013 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr.../dn609870.aspx Microsoft Reduces Minimum Resolution Requirement To Enable Cheaper, Smaller Windows Devices http://microsoft-news.com/microsoft-...ndows-devices/ System requirements: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...m-requirements Therefore there is no fix we can do for this and it is a limitation of Windows 8 onwards.

Hey, I just registered to this forum only to tell you my workaround for the problem with Windows 8 the minimum resolution width of 640 pixels:
As described previously you can circumvent the black display problem by rotating the screen into landscape mode (increases horizontal resolution of displays normally used in portrait mode) and pressing the win+d combination. So I wrote a AutoIt script for myself which is activated via a shortcut, which quickly rotates my small portrait screen into landscape, presses win+d, rotates the screen back to portrait mode and restores all windows back by sending win+d again. I just klick this shortcut after I turned the pc on and can use my 7" monitor without problems. This does not solve the problem but enables you to live with it pretty well. I used the following program in my script, which enables me to rotate only the second screen: http://noeld.com/programs.asp?cat=misc#display My script looks as follows: Run("C:\display.exe /device 2 /rotate 0") Sleep(1000*2) Send("#d") Run("C:\display.exe /device 2 /rotate 90") Sleep(1000*2) Send("#d") Last edited by flow28; 12-08-2014 at 01:39 PM. |
