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.
