What's the status DisplayLink?
 

Hi,

As a patient and loyal DisplayLink customer with six LG L206WU monitors on my desk that are semi-funcitional. (Running beta 1.5b7 which fixed other issues.)

Still:
- Sleep does not work and locks the system.
- Rebooting and shutting down takes forever.
- Forgets monitor position on power down.
- Unknown disk error pop-up about 10 minutes after start-up.

It would be nice to have a press release or some form of communication to let use know the status on the Leopard 64bit driver situation. Drivers were promised at the end of Q4'09 but nothing came about that.

I can't wait much longer before I am forced into shelling out to get two more video adapters to by pass DisplayLink all together.

What's the deal? What should I do?

How about this?
What's the deal with the multiple people claiming to be running 1.5b7?

I've only ever seen 1.5b6 posted, but then again that is 3 months old now...

Any sign of a 'less-beta' release on the horizon?

I think.. the developers are not back yet from their Christmas vacation.. :mad:

I wish that my Christmas vacation could start before Halloween and last 'till after Groundhog Day, too.

I'm running 1.5b7 on Snow Leopard but only in 32bit mode. It won't run in 64.
I too am waiting for the next release

Anyone know where we get 1.5b7 and what it might have improved on since b6?

I created a new thread and posted a link to another site last month. Go here:

Thanks for the info! I don't know if I should post the question here or the other thread so chose here for now. Any significant/noticeable updates with this build and/or issues?

For me, its slow -- you definitely can display any video on that screen. It also won't go to sleep on its own, you have to force it to sleep with OPTION, COMMAND, EJECT. Sometimes when it comes out of sleep mode, the screen is all fuzzy or "noisy" (shutting it off and turning it back on usually resolves that, or possibly even moving the mouse around on the screen and dragging a window around will repaint it properly). If they came out with a 64-bit driver I'd be ecstatic. If they just fixed these two issues, I'd at least be semi-happy (for now, anyway...).

Thanks for the feedback. We need a 64-bit driver already!
