Thank you for the response!

(Without intending to sound snarky) I guess there is an esoteric "sometime in the future" and there is the quoted "in the near future" for me is more of a should I purchase two mini displayport adapters for my rMBP, or don't spend the extra money on those because we are going to have this in the "near" future. So spend 60 extra bucks at Apple or wait? (And that is rhetorical because I know you can't answer that for me, but is an example of the the dilema we are in)

Maybe you have some drivers in the alpha version? I bought USB3HDTRIO, was written on the box that the mac is supported But that's not true at the moment.

Just wondering if the new USB3.0 will continue to support/output RGB space? Currently Mac's own Thunderbolt/Mini-DisplayPort outputs in YPbPr which is really not for computer desktop use.

Yes, all our current products output RGB.

Will the DL-3xxx driver also support audio? I've got the Targus USB 3 video dock (from a co-worker) and it all works just fine on his Windows 7 laptop, including USB audio. But will audio also be supported on the Mac driver?

I do prefer video support over audio however . A lot more then audio.

thanks

Any updates on this from DisplayLink? I just purchased an EVGA UV+39 to support dual monitors and apparently it doesn't work since it's a DL_3XXX chipset. I spoke with EVGA prior to ordering it and they swore up and down that the DisplayLink 1.8 driver fixed any issues for Lion (OSX 10.7.4). If DisplayLink plans on releasing a driver that's compatible relatively soon then I'll hang onto this thing and wait until then. Otherwise, I'll be returning this.

Once we've fixed the most obvious bugs that will annoy you and you'll all complain about, there should be a beta available...

Development is certainly revealing an 'interesting' aspect of the OSX USB 3.0 support.

I've been lurking for several months and decided to register to convey my thanks for the update. Demand for Mac USB 3.0 drivers is really great and I personally would love, love, love to have them. We value the ongoing work and dedication to supporting multiple platforms. Here's hoping for a speedy beta release.

Hello Dan,
There are many satisfied DisplayLink customers, and a number of vocal dissatisfied customers. You probably get a disproportionate number of dissatisfied customers on this board, looking for solutions to the problems that will inevitably crop up trying to support a spectrum of hardware and software configurations.
The tone of your message isn't what I consider to be constructive. I hope that future communications will be more considerate of the many satisfied customers and the legitimate struggles of some users.

Dan,

If these bugs are things like rotation support, audio or ethernet connections, must of us do not care for an beta version of the product.

Just release as soon as possible to us to test and comment.

We have macs running with USB 3.0 more than an year with PCIe cards and an long time with the hottest notebook in the market. Everybody wants multiple monitors in theirs rMBPs, even not thought thunderbolt, the better option still you, but you need to go fast.

Alternatives are coming...
