Same problem here with App Expose
 

+1 for this issue

It seems to trigger in the majority of instances when I do a 4-finger-swipe (i.e. App Expose) to show all the windows for the currently active application.

I'm running 10.9.1 - but experienced the same issue in 10.9.0

I'm using on DL monitor and one Displayport external monitor on 2013 MBA.

It only crashes when the DL monitor is plugged in.

No issues with expose or show desktop so far on my early 2013 iMac 10.9.1

It's happening to me too. Even if it's Apple's fault, a workaround would be great.

(Of course, when I chatted with Apple to report the problem, they just suggested I reinstall the OS... *sigh*)

Any update?

My screen
 

This is how my screen looks like after 5-10 mins being plugged into my macbook 2011 i7 16gb ram:

Havent found a fix for this yet and the pic shows the first symptoms, after 15 mins the screens goes unreadable.

tried ML and Mavericks, driver 1,8, 2,0 and now 2,1 and nothing seems to work.

incase the image wont show up here a url for copy paste

edit: theres no specific program related to this, this occurs even if i have no program running and i dont do anything with the computer.

This very much looks like memory corruption, a HW issue. I would expect this to be covered by the manufacturer's warranty, best to check with them.

This is happening to me too, and is absolutely frustrating. The crash is random and seemingly non-reproducible, so when it crashes, it takes down all the work I was doing.

Mission Control/Show Desktop seems to trigger the bug, but it's not an exclusive trigger. It also happened playing youtube videos or moving windows around.

By the way, on my displaylink-driven monitor I have no Apple logo (the rest of the menu bar looks as it should, though), and no miniatures on Mission Control. Video is super choppy, and some windows turn black randomly. I have to move them to the MBA's monitor and back again to refresh them.

Overall I am not happy with the performance of the Displaylink and I'd like somebody to fix the issues once and for all. This is a product I can't definitely recommend. The annoyances are one thing, but the random crashes make it almost unusable.

Sorry for the criticism but this is unacceptable.

PS: I'm running 10.9.2 on 2013 MBA

Signed up to post this as well as it's extremely annoying.

This happens frequently on my brand new 13'' Macbook Pro, 16GB RAM, running 10.9. Two external monitors via DisplayLink, one via HDMI. By the way this never happened on my previous Macbook, also running 10.9!a

Hi all,

We have discussed 2 well defined Window Server crashes with Apple so far, but we don't have a good reproduction of the random one.
It would be very helpful if you could let us have a system profiler of the issue and the description of the trigger for your case.

You can send us the information using http://www.displaylink.com/support/ask_question.php

Thank you!
Carlo

Carlo, I sent you the information through the form

Thanks

Apologies for the partial instructions,

In order to analyse the issue and in case open a bug or technical incident with Apple we need our logs and the full system profile.

Immediately after the issue has happened can you please use this tool http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=269
And then send us the information using http://www.displaylink.com/support/ask_question.php

Thank you!
