Hi All,
Just to let you know I'm experiencing the same symptoms using Win7 x64 after adding 2 Lilliput UM80's. Have tried various versions of DisplayLink (5.6, 6.3, 7.1) - all cause TrackIR5 to fail to display the GUI (although running in background according to task manager). Works fine after Displaylink uninstalled. However TrackIR4 is working OK, despite the occasional crash. My setup:

ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3
Intel i7-2600K
16Gb RAM
HD6970x2

Not sure if it's relevant, but looks like the main thing we have in common is all running ATI graphics.

Are you running the latest version of Lucid Virtu? Also we recently released TrackIR 5.2.2 which has a fix for the OpenGL with an ATI card crash, is this the version you are running?

Yes I've since tested with 5.2.2 to try and fix the problem, although I was running 5.2.1 when I added the UM80's. I'm not running Lucid Virtu. I did try installing it, but it can't find the onboard gfx (even after enabling in BIOS).

Are the displays and your TrackIR plugged into USB 2 or 3 ports?

I have tried both USB3 and USB2. In fact, even with both the screens and trackir disconnected, trackir 5 won't start properly. Just having displaylink installed seems to be enough to stop it working - as soon as I uninstall displaylink, trackir5 is back working again.

Hello.

I am using TrackIR5.
I have the same problem. (Windows7)

If displaylink is installed, trackir5 will not work.
If displaylink is uninstalled, trackir5 will work.

The driver of displaylink which I tested
7.1 M1
7.0 M3
6.3 M1
6.2 M2
6.1 M2
6.0 M1
5.6 M1

The driver of trackir5 which I tested.
TrackIR_5.0.beta.03
TrackIR_5.0.beta.04
TrackIR_5.0.Final.b
TrackIR_5.1.Final
TrackIR_5.1.3.Final
TrackIR_5.2.1.Final
TrackIR_5.2.2.Final
TrackIR5-TB-VS.exe

I combined all these drivers.

Installation of Lucid Virtu software will start trackir5.
But, trackir5 is very unstable and it does not become useful.
A frame rate falls remarkably.


PS. I'm sorry, my bad english
