Did that, no joy. My MIMO 710 still shows a garbled and squished desktop in portrait mode.

Hi All,

I just wanted to update you all, just in case you thought we had forgotten about in at DisplayLink HQ.

So we are still investigating the issue, and its proving to be pretty challenging, as right now Apple have yet to document what they have changed in the area that affects us. Therefore we are having to do some pretty in depth rummaging around to find out what has caused this issue.

As I've said before we are looking at this issue and are trying to find a resolution as quickly as possible.

Regards

Seb

I have two portrait-mode monitors on the sides of my main monitors -- same garbled rotation issues as others have noted with 10.6.3. I LOVE the product -- look forward to a fix. Thanks!

Thanks for the update!

Don't worry, I know what Apple (and Microsoft for that matter) can be like. I've had both of them ignore bug-reports and change API's on me without documenting what they did often enough to feel your pain.

It has been over a week, can we get an update?

This is causing an issue with Parallels and VMware Fusion. They both either bluescreen or blacscreen if you try to use either a bootcamp partition or "software" VM with displaylink drivers installed.

C'mon guys, lets get this fixed.

Hi All,

So at the end of last week we managed to review Apple's (public) source code and are not surprised to find out the update has broken us, as they have significantly changed (nearly 50% of the code) in some core areas we interact with.

We believe we have managed to get some form of fix to this issue, and are now reviewing the changes to ensure there are no major issues with the current change.

We are aiming to release a beta release as soon as we can, to enable all you affected, to have some form of usability back.

When i have a clearly understanding of when our initial tests are set to be complete i will update you all.

Again apologies for any inconvenience this has caused, we are trying to resolve this as quickly as we can.

So this must happen even before 10.6.3 because I'm running 10.6.2 with Parallel Desktops 5.09344 and it isn't working either.

Just applied the beta and it's looking good for me too. Whew! Thanks ... will there be a post to this thread whenever the code exits beta stage?
