Any news on a new beta?

Hi Carlo,

Please post the list for the third refresh of public beta: 10.10.0 (14A361p)

I just wish you would decide if you will continue to support OS X or not. Updates for this beta are almost non-existent. Feedback to customers is just as infrequent.

I have to unplug this adapter every night, or my MBA crashes when it wakes. I understand Apple has made things difficult, but you could post incremental changes. Some of them must work. Your developers are developing, your QA team is testing, and I assume you are checking in changes that work. How about sharing some?

At least publicly post how to remove the drivers so I can have a stable system and move to a Thunderbolt dock - OS X 10.9.4.

To uninstall you should remove all of the following files (some may not be present on your system) then reboot:

/Library/Extensions/DisplayLinkDriver.kext
/Library/Extensions/DisplayLinkEthernetDriver.kext
/Library/StartupItems/DisplayLinkAgent
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.displaylink.useragent.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.displaylink.useragent-prelogin.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.displaylink.launchd.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.displaylink.displaylinkmanager.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.displaylink.plist
/Library/Receipts/DisplayLink Software Installer.pkg
/Applications/DisplayLink/DisplayLink Software Uninstaller.app
/Library/Application Support/DisplayLink
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/DisplayLink
/var/db/receipts/com.displaylink*

Administrator access is required.

Cheers,
Carlo

10.9.5 was just released. No mention of any video fixes, or any other bugs reported by many (sleep/wake; finder-thumbnail windows, etc)

Maybe this will get us a driver update?

I got tired of having to undock my system every night and the random window server crashes so I got a Thunderbolt dock - it was only a bit more then my Toshiba Dynadock, and since I only can use one monitor with Displaylink, why not try it.

So far it is perfect. No screen lag as with Displaylink, no crashes. And Elgato has a nifty undock icon that unmounts all drives.

Either Apple/DisplayLink will fix the issues, or Thunderbolt monitors will come down in price - whichever happens first will get me back my multimonitor support.

FWIW I did the 10.9.5 update and it would seem that the latest beta 2.2 driver while it works still suffers from the same problems and is probably even more unstable. I'm getting constant window server crashes now. Bummer that things are moving in the wrong direction. OSX support hasn't been good since 10.8 and we're on the eve of 10.10 now.

Can you outline what it is that Apple has done or isn't doing in the newest versions of OSX that's causing such problems? What is it that the OS isn't supporting now that it once did?

Looks like I may have been hasty in blaming the displaylink driver on my crashes. Turns out I had a stick of RAM actually go bad on me... even still the multimonitor experience still leaves a lot to be desired.
