OSX Mojave - Black screen with cursor
Hello Guys,
I am facing an issue where my external displays are detected but the only black screen with mouse cursor is visible. The problem is exactly as mentioned here but for Windows. These are my OS version and peripherals.
Interestingly, the same dock works perfectly when I connect my office colleagues' laptops.
Does anyone know any workarounds to this issue? Cheers, Vikas |
If you have the workaround driver, it might be you need to grant permissions to the driver somewhere. There should be some detail on one of the threads.

You go to Settings, Security & Privacy, and where it reads 'Allow apps downloaded from:' make sure App Store and identified developers is selected. After install there might be a display link item there for approval; if so, enable it and reboot. |

Now that Mojave is released, is DisplayLink going to release a driver that solves the black screen issue on 2018 MacBook Pros?

I got the exact same issue that two black screens with a cursor only.
Laptop - MacBook Pro 13" 2018 Mac OS - Mojave 10.14 (18A389) Dell D6000 Dock Display Link Driver - 5.0 (13) |
I work in a company as a IT support and we have a lot of Macs. The thing i noticed because i told my guys to use drivers 4.3 and not to update to newer versions of MAC OS is that when they did an update today to Mojave the old drivers worked like a charm. They were 4.3 drivers, and the new one are not working. Now the biggest problem is that i cannot install old 4.3 drivers on Mojave cause its not compatible. So right now im testing on MAC Pro 2018 to install 4.3 drivers on High Sierra and then to update to Mojave and see if that will work. That may be the workaround for now, and for the developers at Displaylink to maybe enable installation of 4.3 drivers on Mojave as well.

This is what I did - - Created a bootable copy of my MacOS on an external hard disk - Used the external hard disk (i.e. my MacOS) to boot my colleagues 2017 laptop - Tried the USB dock and voila!! ...it worked as it should (have attached a screenshot hereby, her is a link too.) Since my exact OS worked on my colleague's laptop, I can rule out any misconfiguration at my end. It has definitely something to do on the new 2018 laptops. |
Am I the only one who gets a permission error when clicking the image in vikas027's post?

Anyways, here is a link https://i.postimg.cc/g2mB7K1B/201809...52648_i_OS.jpg |
Update - As per the latest information on DisplayLink Mac OS page, one can use driver v4.3 Beta 6 on 2018 laptops.

And I face some weird issues (random screen blackouts, mouse works in just one third of the screen) if I close the lid of the laptop. |
Has anyone heard anything on a fix for this issue? The last email from DisplayLink announcing the latest drivers hints that the fix should come from apple.

I am having the same issue. please let me know if you find any solution for this.
|
In my case, the mirroring is working but not extended monitor.
I have rebooted a couple of times. It does not work, unfortunately. |
Even when it does work it is very buggy and doesn't support high resolutions. Max is 1080p.

I've got a 2018 MacBook Pro 15 inch which is having the same problem. I'm using the release version of the DisplayLink drivers, version 5.0.1 :(

Mac 2018 Pro with 10.14.4 has same problem
Same issue with 5.1
I'm using Mac 2018 10.14.4 and the monitor only shows desktop background with cursor. And also when I unplug and plug again they just show blank/black, unless I keep them connected and restart my mac. Tried also v5.0.1 and v4.x, no one works. Please fix it asap. it is very annoy. :( Thanks |
