DiplayLink Mountain Lion Fix

Heres a few tips:
1. The script is only good for one login. So if your using a account to run it, log out and log into another account the script will not stick around after restart nor will it keep working if you logout and log back in without running it.

2. I recommended putting the script in all of your accounts. That way it will work after reset and logins and logout.

3. To install it to your own account you need to run the script first (click it, and it will quickly do its job and close). Then add it to your login items, reboot your computer, and log into your account and everything should be working. If need be add it to login items, reset, login, reset, then login and plug in your display link monitors. This will force the script to run automatically once and set everything up for you. You only should do that the first time after you install the script.

Thanks for the tips, I will play more later.

What's bizarre is after I was auto logged in, script loaded, finder would still crash under that user. I wasn't until I rebooted and unplugged my other monitor that I was able to get everything working. And I switched users, didn't log out of displaylink user.

Like I said, will play more later.

It sounds like your not unplugging your monitor. Before loging out unplug the adapters. After you log in you can plug it in again. Otherwise it won't work.

I was definitely unplugging the USB adapter before logging out. I think my other external monitor may be causing issues (using Mini-DP to DVI).

I use an external display using my Thunderbolt port with no problems. Maybe its something in your settings. At least (even though complex) you can use your DisplayLink which is more than we could have said yesterday. (: Let me know if you figure it out.

I am definitely excited..the only issue seems to occur when I reboot, which I don't do very often. And even then the problem can be avoided if I unplug the other monitor at bootup.

BTW, saw you were using a Thunderbolt display (very jealous) ever see this: http://macwinguy.com/2012/04/getting...r-macbook-pro/ ?
