Notification Thread for Carlo for when Mavericks and DisplayLink Play Nice

jmwebguy · 02-21-2014, 02:59 PM

2 monitors connected to DisplayLink (one direct DVI and one DVI to USB). The other monitor is connected with a DVI to HDMI then I have the HDMI connected to a HDMI to Thunderbolt adapter.

Still have to change layout each system start, but I can handle that.

I figured work around if i switch the monitor from USB >HDMI to scaled and 1600 x 900 it actually lights up and stays active.

the 24" dell monitor natively runs at 1920 x 1080 but since i am doing screen share on the third monitor to a remote MAC it actually doesn't take the scale and looks like a 1920 x 1080 display

OMG, is there a fix coming? Another month has gone by.

I guess I need to find a Thunderbolt (TB) hub or something. I'm not going to buy Apple's TB monitors ($$$), but maybe a TB hub exists, so I can re-use these DVI monitors with TB to DVI adapters.

Ugh!

Has anyone seen a Thunderbolt hub that will do this? I did some looking a few weeks ago but didn't find anything.
