DoubleSight DS-90UC & 10.5.8 - Help Please

Okay, the black screen is fixable. After you installed the drivers and you restart you much log in. You will only have a black screen at this point. Now log out (not restart) and log back in and the monitor will show. This works for me every time with all of the drivers. Also, if you change the rotation the screen will become garbage. Just log out and then log back in and the rotation will take effect.

having to log off and back on has to be a bug in the drivers don't you think?

But the resolution available to me is still the wrong resolution. I need 1200 x 600 for things to display right. Why is this not an option in the settings for the monitor and the drivers?

If I can get the correct resolution then I am set!

Thanks.

Okay, I installed the latest 1.5 drivers. The only change for me was a new option in the resolution settings. See screen shot.

1280x960 is in the options but I cannot select it. Also that new option doesn't even show up in the display settings. It is only in the quick settings.

That is about all I have on this issue. I am looking forward to someone from DisplayLink responding.

Thanks.

Wow, I am now exactly where you are. This, after weeks of black screen, multiple installs of drivers and restarts. We're not there yet...but much closer. Thanks.

The NEW driver here fixes the problem: http://www.doublesight.com/product/?idx=53

Glad I waited and did not return the display.
