Mountain Lion Problems

[Stephen]

I'm starting to get just as frustrated as everyone else, I was just lurking in these threads because the problems I have been seeing other people have been seeing.

However I now have to add another voice to the chorus.

I use a DisplayLink adapter to drive a monitor while I am at work, outside of work I do not use a DisplayLink Adapter and I do not have any issues. At work, I have flickering content inside of browsers, I never see the box to enter my password when my screen saver activates, thankfully I've just been able to type blindly. Also I get the occasional kernel panic.

I'm at the point where I will not be able to recommend any DisplayLink product to anyone.

Are you implying that outside of work you use a DisplayLink adapter and mountain lion and you do not have any issues?

I fixed the wording in my post to make it a bit clearer. I do not use a DisplayLink Adapter when not at work.

I'm in the same boat as Stephen... frustrated and yeah.. kind of need my second monitor to work since this is for work. I may just have to save up for a thunderbolt display from apple to "resolve" my issue.

I've found as a work around to this that if you enable disk encryption (Preferences->Security & Privacy->FileVault) that the normal login screen is replaced with one that does not get broken when DisplayLink is installed.

Just in case anyone is looking for a better solution then leaving the computer unlocked all the time.

Thats good to know and now I know why I never had this login issue everybody talked about. Full disk encryption is always on my stuff. Just have the lower resolution and graphical corruption on the secondary monitor in my cause.

Im using a MAC Book Pro, Core 2 Duo, so not the latest model but have upgraded with DisplayLink from Tiger, through Lion and now on to Mountain Lion. I use a Toshiba docking station and two USB adapters for a three screen solution at work (four with my MAC screen included). Basically the apps I use every day for business including Microsoft and Outlook all work fine. There is a very annoying bug in the 10.8 OS which changes random text to caps when entering phrases like 'I'm ' which is nothing to do with DisplayLink but other areas work fine. I had one issue with flickering in Safari which is when I have the option selected to show recent site images, but resetting this to not show the site image selection screen and default the browser to a given website overcomes this.

Not sure why I'm different or maybe people only come here when something is wrong but for me it's fine for work and I believe updates are coming likely from both Apple and DisplayLink given this is a new OS there are bound to be teething issues.

My screen is completely black - and I can't find the monitor in Settings/monitors. Seems like the installation doesn't work in 10.8.2. Anybody else having this problem?
