Hello vhp1
Thanks for contacting us with your problem. 1. Have you added a workaround for recent X problems as described in http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...ent-x-upgrades [Workaround 2]? Please remember to reboot your computer after adding a conf file. Did it resolve your problem? If not... 2. Does this problem still exists after logout/login or reboot your computer with device attached to it? Waiting for your reply, Adam Last edited by Adam Kaleta; 10-24-2017 at 02:35 PM. |

Resolved
Hi Adam:
Thank you so much! The "Workaround 2" works! It is surprising, because I tried the same workaround before starting this forum thread, and it did not work back then. --Vu |
