Unable to mirror screen on MacBook Pro Retina

Carlo · 03-26-2014, 09:02 AM

Hi stewbell,

This is a known issue on Retina. On my system happens also trying to move the main screen to the USB screen.
This is described among the known issues: http://www.displaylink.com/support/ticket.php?id=354

As far as I know there is no known workaround.
It may be possible for 10.9.3 to change this, seeing that it will enable HiDPI modes for external screens. Or at least enable a workaround but I don't have any solution to offer in the short term.

Cheers,
Carlo

Thanks for the reply Carlo.

So it's something that is likely/ probable to be fixed in the future, even if not in the short-term?

Just installed 10.9.3, but can neither scale the external display down from 1920x1080, alter the brightness or mirror the window.

Anyone having the same issue?
