Disconnecting the Adapter 

 

If the adapter is unplugged from the computer, the add-on monitor goes blank. All 

windows and icons move to the primary screen. 

On reconnection of the adapter, the adapter returns to the same mode as it was before 

disconnection. However, windows and icons that were previously on the screen will not 

be moved back. 

Using Dual Adapters 

 

Up to two adapters can be simultaneously attached to one computer. To use two 

adapters: 

1.  Install the driver as described above and connect the first adapter to your computer.  
2.  Then connect the second adapter to your computer. The system will automatically 

complete the installation.  

While two adapters are connected to a computer, in most cases both adapters support 

extended and mirror modes. The only exception is on Windows Vista XDDM mode as 

described below.  

Limitation for dual adapters on Windows Vista in XDDM mode: In this mode one 

extended screen and one mirrored screen is supported. Only the first connected adapter 

can be configured to use extended mode; the second adapter is forced to use mirror 

mode. When you bring out the Windows display settings dialog box, you will find that only 

one …DisplayLink Graphics Adapter (representing your first attached adapter) is 

configurable.
