Show Desktop in Mavericks (10.9)

Apple will say it's DisplayLink and DisplayLink will say it's apple. It's called passing the buck back and forth. Everyone knows Apple doesn't want you connecting non Apple devices to their hardware LOL.

Understood, but would be nice for someone from DisplayLink to at least acknowledge the issue exist and that they are looking into it as well.
I opened the report with Apple and they at least responded back, have not heard anything from Displaylink.

Just updated to 10.9.1 and tried the "Show desktop" again, did it 3-4 times and no crashes. Before it crashed each and every time I tried. So look like Apple fixed this bug even although they responded that it is not on their end.

We have found different WS crashes in our tests so far in 10.9.1 compared to 10.9. It must be a timings issue that is triggered by different use cases on different setups.

Thank you for posting the update!

Carlo,

So are these items DisplayLink can/needs to address in the driver?

+1 for this issue

It seems to trigger in the majority of instances when I do a 4-finger-swipe (i.e. App Expose) to show all the windows for the currently active application.

I'm running 10.9.1 - but experienced the same issue in 10.9.0

I'm using on DL monitor and one Displayport external monitor on 2013 MBA.

It only crashes when the DL monitor is plugged in.

No issues with expose or show desktop so far on my early 2013 iMac 10.9.1

This is how my screen looks like after 5-10 mins being plugged into my macbook 2011 i7 16gb ram:

Havent found a fix for this yet and the pic shows the first symptoms, after 15 mins the screens goes unreadable.

tried ML and Mavericks, driver 1,8, 2,0 and now 2,1 and nothing seems to work.
