Direct3D support in 5.4?
Hello,
With 5.6 I was unable to get Direct3D support so I downgraded to 5.4 noticing the support for DirectX 10 mentioned in the release notes. After I completed this I ran dxDiag and still found it reporting that Direct3D was not enabled for Windows XP. Is this a feature that is exclusive to Windows 7? Originally I was running a Windows 7 system but the DisplayLink software was not showing on the taskbar and the DisplayLink device was not available in Windows display picker. Here is the DxDiag output. Thanks, Devan |

Yes, Direct3D support is only for Windows Vista and later and Direct3D 10 support was, as you state, added in 5.4 for Windows 7.
Thanks, Paul |

Thanks Paul,
Are 5.4, 5.5, and 5.6 parallel streams or does the addition of Direct3D support in 5.4 mean that it will be in a future releases (i.e. 5.6) as well? Or maybe put another way, is there a reason why I would not want to just use 5.6? Devan |

Yes, using 5.6 should be absolutely fine. Are you planning to go back to using your DisplayLink device with Windows 7?

Hi Paul,
Yes I will go back to Win 7 for Direct3D support but I am having issues there as well. http://www.displaylink.org/forum/sho...=2449#post2449 Thanks, Devan |
