How do I know if I am using DisplayLink?
Hello everyone, sorry for what might sound like a stupid question, but how do I know if I am using DisplayLink? I have a 15" TouchBar MacBook Pro running High Sierra 10.13.3 connected to:
- Two LG 4K panels via a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter for each monitor.
- One HP LP3065 panel via a USB-C to Thunderbolt adapter to an Apple Dual-Link DVI adapter to the Dual-Link DVI interface on the monitor.
- One Sun Microsystems 24.1" panel via a USB-C to HDMI (in a hub) adapter to an HDMI switch to an HDMI to single-link DVI adapter to the panel.
I have the following DisplayLink driver installed:
Code:
$ kextstat | grep -v apple
Index Refs Address Size Wired Name (Version) UUID <Linked Against>
17 0 0xffffff7f80f3a000 0xf000 0xf000 com.displaylink.driver.DisplayLinkDriver (4.1 (11)) 5A240BCF-1B8D-3A9E-B21B-B12D639AC9D9 <16 12 5 4 3>
although I don't know if I need it installed. How do I know if I'm using it, and if I'm not, how can I safely remove it from my system? I am experiencing Watchdog resets during sleep and I want to rule out this driver being the cause.
Also, should I hold off updating to 10.13.4 because of all the kernel panics I am seeing on this forum?
Thanks for any help!
