If it's an OS issue, rather than a kext issue, how is it that older versions of the DisplayLink software (2.1 for example) did not have this issue? - That suggests that it's the result of a change made by DisplayLink not the OS.

This issue is actually more serious than you might think, because the OS is constantly writing to your hard drive which is going to do anything but improve it's longevity.

I've got into the habit of running the following in Terminal on every boot, just to stop the constant writing to the disk (which can really add up if you're using the Mac 8 hours+/day):
Quote:
sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist
That stops syslogd from running, which has the side effect of disabling the logging from any applications that rely on it - it's far from ideal, but better IMO than the alternative of the constant log spam.
