Mavericks 10.9.1 beta

dontheman · 11-27-2013, 02:13 PM

Its disappointing to hear that the next update from Apple does not appear to resolve any of the issues. I am BARELY getting by with my monitor set up and it CLEARLY does not function as well as it did before Mavericks. It appears to be a combination of complications, some due to Mavericks and some that DisplayLink can resolve. Any word on when DisplayLink will put out a new version?

The behavior issues are definitely related to having multiple monitors vs. one monitor. With one monitor using display link, i can unplug and rebplug the USB3 doc and get back the one monitor. With 2 monitors using displaylink via dock, if u undock, then a reboot is the only thing that will get display back. One displaylink monitor and one connected via mini displayport works fine and has no corruption in menu bar either.

I don't see how this could be an apple issue when non-displaylink connections (even multiple monitors) work fine

One more thing... Google Chrome hangouts - this launches mini chrome windows - there is one many window that lists all your conversations, and each conversation has its own window. If the browser window is 12" x 12" then the Hangouts windows are about 2" x 3" -

Clicking on the link to open hangouts, I get the main 2x3 window on my laptop. If I open a conversation in a 2x3 window and move it to a big display (Displaylink connected) it drags over fine, but dragging the main parent window over, i get a black rectangle and the main 2x3 window reappears on the laptop. I can keep moving these around or opening new conversations, and eventually i can get them all on the display link monitor, but not without a lot of black rectangles or chrome windows that vanish back to the laptop.
