El Capitan compatibility

[justincardinal]

rMBP 13", late 2013, El Capitan Public Beta 5 running a 2560x1440 Dell monitor using displayport connection, and a 1920x1200 Acer monitor via Plugable UD-3900 USB3 dock with latest DisplayLink drivers installed...

This configuration has worked, but it is sporadic and mostly does *not* work. Previous public betas has been sporadic but mostly worked, and the trick of killing the DisplayLinkUserAgent process often worked, but with public beta 5, this trick has not worked even once. The most typical scenario I'm seeing currently is that the OS sees the DisplayLink-connected display and thinks it's active, but the display is blank. The displayport-connected display always works. I have toggled the built-in laptop display by opening/closing the lid, which has gotten the DisplayLink display working once or twice, but mostly doesn't work. Rebooting *has* worked, but usually does not.

I have not found a reliable solution to getting the DisplayLink display working with public beta 5.

As an aside, I believe this is the third year running where we've seen these drivers break during the developer betas of OS X, DisplayLink does nothing, OS X public release comes out and suddenly everyone has this problem, DisplayLink acts is if they've been caught unawares, then a month or two later we get an updated driver that works with the new OS. This is what developer betas are for; run them, see if your software breaks, then prepare your fixes before public release so your users aren't left with broken software. I used to recommend these USB docks to friends because they were so much more affordable than thunderbolt docks, but with this consistent experience, it's almost impossible to continue recommending them. I really hope the DisplayLink folks will start being a little more proactive with these drivers when OS X betas come out.

Any status on a working driver for 10.11?

I (and I expect many others on here) have been invited to download the GM El Capitan today - will it work with the current DisplayLink drivers?

It works on the GM for me.

For me, I'm seeing the same behavior as I described above now that I'm running the El Capitan GM.

tl;dr: it almost never works.

Installed El Capitan GM last night and the driver is working for me.

MacBook Pro (17-inch, Early 2011)
Startech USB2DVI2 connected to an ACER AL2016W

I am running El Capitan GM on a 2013 Macbook Air with a Cable Matters USB3 DV-I adapter. Has not worked since installing the first beta. Hopefully a new driver will be released soon.

Is there any newer beta available to try with these latest GM builds of El Cap?

A few people have reported the latest DL working on the 10.11 GM builds.

Of course a few others have said it doesn't work.

I'll be installing the GM on a flash drive this weekend to test myself as I'd like to get onto 10.11 and Xcode 7 sooner rather than later...

I just upgraded to OS X 10.11 and my usb monitor works without a hitch! Its connected to my kensington usb 3.0 dock via HDMI and the dock is connected to my 2012 macbook pro. Of course I'm running the latest version (2.4) of display link driver
