All working
 
New 2.51 driver update did fix it.

I am now running 2 of these monitors on a 12inch MacBook.

2MyCloud does version 2.5.1 work for you?
For paultzirides, this crash is a problem connected to the monitor, not the specific laptop.

About the MB12", if you are using a DisplayLink product without a USB-C port, we've seen issues with the multiport adapter but the smaller USB-C to USB adapter is behaving well.

Kind regards,
Carlo

Carlo, what about power? As I understand it, the USB-C port will allow power into the laptop while data flows in/out. I was hoping for DL dock > Apple Multi-port adapter > 12" MacBook. The issues are that I will need to use the laptop for many hours while "docked", and I need to make sure that I don't run out of juice halfway through. Additionally, the locations in which I use the DL docks both require a wired network connection for stability. Currently, I have a DL dock > MacBook Air, which works flawlessly. If the issues are minimal/negligible on the 12" MacBook, then I really won't worry about picking one up if my employer will spring for it.

If the issues will impact work or make using that setup unstable, then it seems like I may need to stick with my MacBook Air until these issues get sorted out, since I really do need the absolute lightest Mac I can get my hands on that is DL-capable (with all the bells and whistles).

Either way, I feel like the DL team has really done a phenomenal job of getting DisplayLink functioning on Macs with close to 100% parity to Windows. Great job.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your support. Unfortunately there is still much to do to get where we'd like to be. Unfortunately it's not all in our control.

About the type-C I see the problem, I think the best solution would be a USB-C dock with power delivery and DisplayLink. So you can also save the eye-watering cost of the multiport adapter.

The first docks with power and DL over type-C are going to be available this May as far as I know, but I can't recommend any specific brand.

Regards,
Carlo

Hey Carlo,

I have a Macbook 12" 2015 and I'm having problems with DisplayLink v2.6. The keyboard and mouse connected to the dock are working, but no monitor or LAN. The adapter I'm using it an 8Ware brand with usb3 type c charge port, LAN, HDMI and usb 3 regular port.

Am I in the right place to request support?

Thanks,
Curtis

Just an update, this works upon restart. If I disconnect and reconnect it often fails, but sometimes works. The only way to fix it is to restart. Ideally it would be good if I didn't have to restart almost every time I reconnect to the dock. Is anyone else having a problem like this?

Thanks,
Curtis

I think this is a separate issue to the one mentioned in this thread. I suspect the issue you are having is that the DisplayLink chip is not always appearing on the USB bus, and only the USB 2.0 devices are being enumerated (which is why your keyboard and mouse work).

This can be debugged using the article below:

I had a look at that link and it didn't really help. I've attached some information when the drivers are working compared to when they're not.

Like I said, it will always work after a restart but once unplugged and plugged back in the LAN and monitor will not work; looks like the USB3 bus becomes undetected.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Hey all, has there been any updates on this issue?

I imagine the number of support tickets is going to go through the roof is this issue isn't fixed soon since all the new Macbooks only have USBC ports.

If you can please refer to my post(s) above.

Basically upon restart, USB2 and USB3 devices work. If unplugged and replugged then only USB2 devices work.

Hi Whafield,

It's not clear to me what the USB topology is.
You mentioned DisplayLink Ethernet but it looks like a RealTek USB to Ethernet product is connected.
Also, the DisplayLink device connected is a Targus dock and I'm not sure the 8ware device has actually a DisplayLink chip in it: I have found no reference to DisplayLink drivers in their website.

So I'm wondering how the monitor is connected.
Can you please clarify how everything is connected? Logs would help too: http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...to-displaylink

Best regards,
Carlo
