Atlona PC to HDTV USB device
I've had this device in use for some time on my PC. When purchased it didn't have supported software for MAC. Sometime after getting my MacBook Pro in 2006 I decided to see if there had been any compatible software released. It wasn't until today that I found that although this device had been discontinued and replaced with an upgraded hardware version, Atlona now listed Apple MAC compatible DisplayLink software and drivers for Snow Leopard 10.6.2. During the installation process the system was required to be rebooted a few times without issues. After the driver install the "system tray" at the top (still PC minded) showed the correct icon for this device manager. The DisplayLink software installed without problems and rebooted automatically. The USB device was never inserted until this point at which I received the GSOD kernal panic curtain and my heart sank deeply since I just lost my desktop PC to system failure just a few days ago (which I hope I'll have the solution to in the mail soon ;-). I rebooted with the USB device and I got an even worse kernal panic screen I'd never seen, no curtain drawn. So, I removed the device and rebooted and as you can see it's working since I'm online. I haven't tried turning off the bluetooth and inserting the device yet because I wanted to see check for online help first since I have only this computer working now ;-(
Sorry for the book, but I've read through this entire forum post and the end of it says that it seems it's related to the bluetooth USB and that a Mtn Lion release update cures the issue.
Question: my MacBook 2006 is too old to upgrade to Mtn Lion....does anyone and/or DL/TS have any information that a fix is possible for Snow Leopard 10.6.2? ...or other? ANY help from ANYone would be GREATLY appreciated!
