Symptom: DisplayLink displays are secondary displays. There currently needs to be a primary graphics card in the system. Solution: Windows XP Under Windows XP, DisplayLink install their own virtual graphics adapters under device manager and Windows Display Properties. These are indepentant of the primary graphics card. Windows Vista Under windows Vista, the DisplayLink graphics driver works closely with the primary graphic card to allow the Vista aero 3D effects. Therefore under Vista, we work with certain primary graphics cards and configurations. DisplayLink works with all NVidia, ATI and NVidia (including SLi configurations) graphics cards under Vista. We do not support the SiS or Via graphics chipsets. DisplayLink may not work if there are multiple graphics cards installed in the PC.
