Latest 2.3 drivers cause kernel panic

Hi jordanbop,

The kernel extension that panics is com.avatron.AVExFramebuffer. This is probably the virtual screen for a product called Air Display.

It's possible that the kext is making some assumptions about the screens available on the systems and adding the DisplayLink screens confuses it. Still, it probably was not Avatron's intention for it to kernel panic!

One solution of course is to uninstall the Air Display kext or upgrade it to see if there is a fix already available.
If you want to use both Air Display and DisplayLink and the issue persists it's best to raise a bug with them. If their support needs to ask any details from us, please let them write to our support and we'll help them out as much as we can.

Cheers,
Carlo
