I might have found some workaround

I all,

As must of you, I m struggling with this thing Mac DP (3500) drivers.

I use a MBP i7 2012/ 16GB and 2 Dell U2713h & HM monitors.
Today I tried the DP daisy chain with another U2713H, but all I could get was a mirrored display the same as the U2713H.

Yesterday I stumbled on something while I was using one of my working VM's, actually a W8.1 Ent version, and I accidentally connected the Dongle, and voila, the windows recognized the 2 displays and is been working since then, on win for now.

Mouse is still sluggish but usable and the transitions from the wallpapers are now clear and on a very acceptable frame rate.
Has I also have some eye issues I use a lot the zoom Mac feature, and that is not working well, since I loose the cursor on zoom, but I zoo out and the zoom in again, for now doable.

The trick was I connected the dongle AFTER powering up the MAC and the Win VM.

Since the actual idea is to have it connect all the time, but for some of you it can work. I have only the beta drivers on MAC nothing on the VM.

Also I'm using Parallels V9 latest build.
a
I was retuning the dongle but now, i think I can wait until the support team can solve this issue, since Maverick is not out yet they might no be very concern with that.

Hope this can help someone.

Regards
JG
