"Works for me" fix...
So on the 10.9.3 GM I've found that unloading the Displaylink kext tends to work for me, but it may be useful for others.
9/10 times this rebooted my machine but seemed to work fine as soon as it started back up!
This is the process I followed to get 2x external displays plus my Macbook Air (2013 "ultimate" spec) built in LCD working:
- Open Terminal
- Type in the following: sudo kextunload /Library/Extensions/DisplayLinkDriver.kext
- Confirm admin user password
After a reboot (which happens automatically - Mac OS does state that it was an unexpected shutdown so it looks like this actually initiates a kernel panic) everything works fine for me every time I do it.
Not sure this will work for everyone but it works for me so I thought I'd share :-)
For the DisplayLink guys - it seems this process bumps the kexts down the load order on the reboot (according to kextstat), to where it's loading after all of the IOkits. Previously, it was loading pre-some of the IOkits so maybe this could be a launchd-based fix?
