DisplayLink Graphics Adapter User Manual

Software Version 7.1

11.5. Standby and Hibernate, Shut down and Restart

If the PC that the DisplayLink USB Graphics device is connected to is placed into standby or hibernate mode, the

display goes blank. When the PC is again powered up (and unlocked if necessary) the connected monitor returns to the

same mode as it was before stand by or hibernation.

If the PC is shut down, restarted and logged in, again the connected display returns to the same mode as it was before

shutdown.

11.6. DisplayLink USB Graphics with Multiple Users

DisplayLink USB Graphics work with multiple users on the PC. The mode settings are saved for each user so each can

use their own desktop configuration.

11.7. Disconnecting the DisplayLink USB Graphics

If the DisplayLink USB Graphics device is powered off or the USB cable is removed from the computer, the display

blanks. All windows and icons move to the primary screen.

On reconnection or powering up of the DisplayLink USB Graphics device, the display 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.

11.8. Supported Screen Modes

There are three components that make up the screen mode:

Resolution: The number of pixels displayed on screen horizontally and vertically.

Color Quality: The number of different colors that can be shown on the screen at the same time.

Refresh Rate: The speed that the entire screen is rescanned. Higher refresh rates reduce flicker.

Some monitors advertise the supported modes through the VGA or DVI connector. If this is the case, the DisplayLink

USB Graphics device identifies the supported modes from the monitor. If the monitor does not advertise the supported

modes, the DisplayLink USB Graphics software chooses a set of common screen modes for the monitor.

11.9. Inferred Modes

Some modes in the DisplayLink GUI are shown with [ ] around them.
