Zenga Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Hi all, I desperately need a bit of help from some pros. Just bought a 8" USB monitor UM-80 /C/T from Lilliput. I intend to display one MFD from the A-10C on it. I installed the driver (Win 7 64-bit) from the CD that came along with the screen. As soon as I switch on the screen, on my main monitor I can see instantly a window opening, showing the first page of the driver installation process (this "yes, I accept the license and terms" thing). However, I didn't even manage to click on "accept" because less than half a second later, I find myself on a blue screen. This happened multiple times now. First I thought it's a power consumption issue, although I ran the UM-80 already with a powered USB hub. Then I stripped off all other USB devices that I have connected to my PC, leaving only the UM-80 and one Logitech Unifying receiver for keyboard and mouse. Same thing, I always end up with a blue screen. Then I installed the driver software on my notebook and tried if the screen works with my notebook - it does perfectly! The notebook has Windows 7 64-bit on it as well. Does anybody have a clue what the heck is going wrong with my PC? I've read the Lilliput's are quite popular, perhaps someone has observed a similar issue. these are my specs: Intel Core i7 870, 2.93 GHz, LGA1156, 4C/8T, 8 GB Kingston ValueRAM, DDR3-1333,P7H55-M/USB3, mATX,Intel H55 Express,1 TB Samsung HD103SJ, F3, 7200rpm, 32 MB, SATA-II,ZOTAC GTS-450, 1024MB GDDR5,Lite-On IHES108-29, Blu-Ray Combo,Intel H55 Express Chipset, 4x S-ATA II, 2x S-ATA III,8-Channel High Definition Audio,10/100/1000*LAN,560Watt, Greenpower, TM Warthog, TM MFD Cougar, Saitek Pro Pedals, TIR4, Samsung 24" LCD main screen,
Aooli Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 First things first - check out the latest drivers on their website - you may find them more up to date than those on the CD. PC's are pedantic things, just cos the old drivers work on your laptop they may not on your PC....
Evader Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 I have two of these and USB are a big PITA. Google Displaylink and download latest drivers. I have a third lilliput 8" USB touchscreen that I wanted to use for maps, but when I turn that one on I loose the others. So I just use the two for MFD's. I think the displaylink drivers have conflicts with ATI for sure. They may work best with basic on board video for desktop office applications.
Zenga Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 (edited) ...Google Displaylink and download latest drivers.... You saved my day, Evader. Latest driver straight from displaylink and it works! What a shame I didn't look for them before. I was searching on the lilliput website itself though, but without any success. Now I can start adjusting the .lua file and get in nicely fitting within the Cougar MFD. Just did a first attempt and got the right MFD exported fine. It only covers the entire 8" display now (800x600), so I have to find out how I can shrink it to fit within the 4.9x4.9" area if the Cougar MFD... Thanks again folks for your kind help!!!

Zenga Posted March 18, 2012 Author Posted March 18, 2012 all running fine now, I also have the Cougar MFD temporarily attached to the 8" displa (I'll do some pics this afternoon). Just from ground test, it's killer immersion really! I've searched the forum up and down, but I didn't find the right posts: does anybody know from memory how to turn off the MFD in the main camera view (for performance purposes)? Thanks!
PeterP Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 use the files from the second pre-set to switch off the in-cockpit render. >>>http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/145724/
