Mac 10.9.3 - Displaylink and J5Create devices don't play nicely together

2DL, using version 2.2 of our drivers. We can call it "Slow and Slow"
2J5, no DL drivers, called "Slower and slower"

Please note that at the moment we don't support or recommend any of these solutions on Mavericks because of the OS limitations.
In all cases you still would have issues with layout persistence, you may introduce or resolve Window Server crashes (these are timing issues, so any change in the configuration affects them) and most other known Mavericks problems with 2 virtual screens would occur.

Do you have a driver that reliably drives 2 displaylink adapters under Mavericks now? I was under the impression that this is broken?

I hear you on the WindowServer Crashes. I'm getting a lot of these.

J5 tells me that they have resolved these crashes entirely with their latest drivers, but I'm not seeing that on my machine. I'm going to hard-reinstall just to make sure, but at this point it seems broken all around

The information from our testing and the information we got from Apple is that we cannot do anything in our drivers to work around the multiple screen issues in Mavericks.
Out attempts so far to find workarounds have only found further issues. Our list on bugreporter is quite impressive nowadays.

It would be great if it was possible to find a workaround and we would be very excited if any of J5's claims turned out to be true. In case please let us know.

Our hopes are in 10.9.4, it's now in beta.

Cheers,
