Display Stays Blank
I've got an EVGA uv16+ running on my MacBookPro5,3 in Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C540)
I've installed the latest (1.5b6) driver and the display does not start. The setup I tried: uv16 only connected USB device DisplayPort disconnected No Programs running In System Info I get: Code:
UV PLUS: Product ID: 0x01ae Vendor ID: 0x17e9 (DisplayLink (UK) Ltd.) Version: 0.02 Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec Manufacturer: DisplayLink Location ID: 0x24100000 Current Available (mA): 500 Current Required (mA): Unknown (Device has not been configured) Code:

Hi I just got the Vibook and I'm also running Snow Leopard Mac OS X 10.6.2 (10C540) in 32 bit mode. I installed VT Voila which works fine, then installed the 1.5b6 driver. When I plug the usb in, the screen just stays black.
Did I install it correctly? Because after I installed 1.5b6, the installer that came with my CD prevented me from installing the Vibook Installer, indicating I already had a new version. Last edited by Farago; 11-18-2009 at 06:04 PM. |

Anybody have any ideas on this?
Is there any extra information I can provide or tests I can perform to help out? |

I had the same thing but I am on 10.5.8. I was able to get my display working. After installing the drivers and rebooting I had a black screen. I logged out and back on and my display kicked in. I find that if I make any change to the display I have to log off and back on for them to take effect. Give it a try.

Solved
So I eventually just decided to reinstall my whole OS. It took me 3 months, but I now have a working USB video connection. Works fairly well. Too bad I had to resort to something so extreme to fix it.
If others are wondering if it's a configuration issue of their own here's something to try: Use Disk Utility to shrink one of your partitions ("drives") Create a new Partition Install a new copy of OS X on the new partition and try installing the driver there. (This doesn't overwrite your currency installation) That's how I discovered I could actually use what I bought. Last edited by IcyMidnight; 02-12-2010 at 12:37 AM. |
