DisplayLink Forum - View Single Post - Can't use built-in screenshot utility

coolhandpete · 01-13-2010, 12:44 AM

I noticed today that using shift-ctrl-cmd-4 (or ctrl-cmd-4, ctrl-cmd-3, etc.) to take a screenshot doesn't work with the DisplayLink monitor. Specifically, it doesn't seem to place the necessary image into the clipboard. It clearly lets me select the portion of the screen to capture, but nothing goes to the clipboard - almost as if the cursor is read as "off-screen" when it is trying to capture the DL screen.

Has anyone else tried to use Mac OS X's built-in screen-capture commands with different results?
