"So far, so good. The every-few-minutes instability (unplug/replug displayLink EVGA UV16+ device when video disappears) seems to be gone. I've been testing it for about an hour now. The weird colors are now gone with the new driver installed. Quicktime playback is noticeably smoother. I've been playing back a 960x540 H.264 (1/2 scaled HDTV recording) PBS Van Morrison concert without a hitch. This is all on a 2GHz Intel Mac Mini driving the display at 1280x1024, 60Hz. The adapter seems to be running a tad cooler. I haven't let the display go to sleep yet to see if it wakes up OK.

Remaining issues (same as with 1.0 driver):
- Sensing of Viewsonic PF790 VGA CRT monitor still intermittent (Half the time senses a generic display).
- Whether properly sensed or not, resolutions above 800x600 are only available at 50 or 60Hz.
But overall, a great improvement. It seems to be finally useable.
(But about an hour later he wrote)
I might have spoken too soon. After a couple of hours, mild instability returned. Not as often as with 1.0. But seems to get worse as time passes.

The driver v1.1 release notes also has a list of remaining key issues.
