In your case the WindowServer is crashing in the QuartzCore code (different source lines but similar OpenGL operations), so it looks like an Apple bug.
I can't see any reference to DisplayLinkManager in the crash log, although I can't exclude it is somehow leads the WindowServer to some bad state. The Quartz path is completely managed by the OS. Have you experienced any DisplayLinkManager crashes? In case could you please post them?

Thanks for reporting the crash dumps. It looks like the crashes have a common root cause. I raised a bug on this.

I'd like to add a few log files as well. Since this morning I've had 3 Window Server crashes. I've had a few (no more than 5) ever since I'm using a DisplayLink device with my MBA.

I don't recall doing anything specific or heavy on the MBA. I do recognize a pattern: it happens when I'm in Safari. But not something heavy or a lot of screen refreshes.

We've been able to avoid kernel panics on 10.8.4 by using the command:

networksetup -setv6off "NAME OF YOUR NETWORK INTERFACE"

So for us this is, exactly:

networksetup -setv6off "Plugable UD-3000"

Christian, if you could possibly please PM me with this bug number, it would be useful in communicating about some distinct issues in this area we think we're seeing.

Best wishes-

Is this something that will be addressed in 2.1?

Since it's been another month, can I ping this thread and ask for an update? Will it be fixed in 2.1? Is 2.1 anywhere being released?

Ooookay then...

What about the new 10.8.5? Will this have had any bearing on the issue? Is there anyone out there still running DisplayLink who can confirm if the Window Server crash is still there?

Running 10.8.5 with Displaylink 2.1 driver (beta). WindowServer crash is still occurring and right now it seems that this might be caused by a bug in OSX or so as in the Beta forum Wim replied that a bug report has been filed with Apple.
