So I'm guessing Snow Leopard on this machine is pretty much stuck in 32-bit ice-age 
Not sure what else to do to get DisplayLink drivers going. Any suggestions appreciated. |
Yes, I'm afraid that our current beta driver does not support 64-bit versions of Snow Leopard. At present we are focussing on developing a 32-bit solution, with a view to developing a 64-bit version later in the year.

I realize we're all fairly tech savvy users here - this being a beta and all. But to have to hack the driver to get it to work at all??? That seems kind of ridiculous to me.

Yes we agree that although this is a beta program, having to hack the driver together is hardly acceptable!
This release did go through some testing, and no install issues were observed, however a last minute change to the release triggered this problem. We have investigated people's feedback and now released a new beta driver that resolves this install issue, the driver (1.5b2) can be found
here. Once again apologies for any inconvenience that was caused by the original release.
