Doesn't Work At All - Kext doesn't load
Hi -
So, excitedly this morning, I tried to install this driver. At first, I had my computer booting Snow Leopard into 64 bit, using the arch=x86_64 flag in my com.Apple.Boot.plist. I tried installing the driver, and it told me the kext could not be loaded, and when I restarted, all I saw was the following in my system.log: Code:

I showed the package contents of the installer in the dmg and looked for those two files, and they don't exist in the installer either. Is this a mistake? Did you guys forget to put a couple things in the DMG? Also, I verified that my DisplayLink hardware is in your Supported Products.plist file. My product id is "0x0198" (408 in decimal) and my vendor id is "0x17e9" (6121 in decimal). Please help with this problem - I'm really missing my two extra monitors since WWDC! Thanks! P.S.: I've attached the debugging information that I got from using your tool as requested in the "Providing Bug Reports" post on the forum. |

I'm seeing other posts in the forum with my exact same error. I'm really guessing this is an accident on your guys' part because I'm sure you wouldn't have released even a beta driver that didn't work at all :-D.
Good luck! |

Well -
I fixed it. I copied over DisplayLinkUserAgent and USBNivoListener from the 1.1.3 Beta - and BAM worked right away. You guys did forget the files didn't you ;-). Tisk tisk tisk. - Adam |

skevy, do you mean that you copied them from an existing working install of 1.1.3b on 10.5 or did you do extract these files from somewhere within the 1.1.3b installer package?

However, I've just tested this on x86_64, and no go. Presumably they have recompiled these two missing files for x86_64 (hence the reason to release a new driver), but just forgot to include them when they packaged it up or something. Later, -Adam |

I ended up trying the same thing and came here to post what I had found only to find out you beat me to it. But I can confirm that copying the 2 missing files from the previous beta driver to this one allows for the display to work.

Tried it. Didn't work.
Running Snow Leopard 10A432. Did as suggested by skevy and copied the two files from the 1.1.3beta to the bundle folder. Rebooted. Still didn't recognize the monitor, but now the console shows a constantly expanding (like, 10+/second) list of errors. Tried plugging directly into MBPro USB port as well as through a powered D-Link hub. No difference.
Going to uninstall it until a proper update shows up. Here are the console messages: 8/17/09 11:37:19 AM kernel USBF: 442.199 [0x7c8c800] The IOUSBFamily is having trouble enumerating a USB device that has been plugged in. It will keep retrying.
