P: Enhance Details broken - All-black preview and final render

I was super excited about the new Enhance Details feature rolling out today.  However, something about it refuses to work for me.  When I select the feature on an image, the preview pane only shows a completely black pane on the "Enhanced" version.  Furthermore, when I click the "Enhance" button, processor and GPU rev up and the progress bar moves, but ultimately it only renders a completely black DNG.  This seems to happen on any photo in my collection.  I have verified that I am updated to the correct version of windows, and that I am working on a CR2 RAW file.  Screenshots:

I loaded the lua script as described and LR reported Open GL was installed rather than DirectX. When I applied the enhanced function I was able to see both Normal and enhanced in the preview. Unfortunately after the rendering the final pic was the Black version.
 I think we are on to something with Direct X vs Open GL.

Let's hope Adobe is paying attention to the folks who are helping them debug this update.

I got the feature working now on my GeForce 680 using the workaround. I copied the config.lua file into the Lightroom folder under Edit/Preferences/Presets/Show all Other Lightroom Presets/Windows File Explorer Folder/Adobe/Lightroom 

Big thanks to Wes Aslin for finding the workaround. 

Noted observation: the feature makes a very minimal difference. Not even visible zoomed to 1:1

This increased estimated enhancement time from 2 min to 6 min, but resulting dng still black

.... and it worked! I have the NVIDIA GTX 660. This trick solved this problem. Yay!

Thanks, Wes!

As a workaround you can use integrated card. From Nvidia control panel you can select Integrated graphic option

Wow. I got it working.
I've installed the latest NVidia driver for the Quadro K2000 and used the config.lua.

Thanks Wes.

+1 for  Wes Aslin's "use openGL, instead of Direct X" 

This temporary fix works for me until Adobe can sort through the Direct X issue.
