I've been running my DL adapter with my Mac Mini for the last three months - no major performance or compatibility issues, but perhaps I am just lucky. That all said, I'm not sure all DL devices are created equal, and I'm not 100% convinced it is always a driver issue.

I went through 2 days of hard work to get my stuff up and running and must admit I'm quite satisfied at the moment, maybe in 6 months I might say otherwise...

All and all, had they not posted that they were mac compatible, I would have never even gone out and tried this whole exercise. I bought 3 seperate devices 2 at Best Buy with the Trillion Name - sucked and ended up with the generic Sabrent device from Tiger Direct that actually had the right information and worked for a change - only catch, and it took me a while - I had to go with VGA port not DVI! Good luck to all...
