DiplayLink Mountain Lion Fix

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/ ?

Sorry, i'm using a normal display using my thunderbolt port. I wish I had a thunderbolt display.

ah, well then I am in the same boat as you, I have a thunderbolt port, but i'm using the DisplayPort adapter on it. So it looks like we have the same setup after all.

Exactly the same. Its odd that its giving you more issues than me. Makes me wonder if there is another culprit.

On another note I am working on an app that will remind you to unplug your monitors so you dont forget to prevent issues. Would you be interested?

I would be interested!

Let's hope DL can get the root cause fixed, or at least incorporate a temporary work around while it gets sorted properly.

I added an app called "DisplayLink Notifier" to the main post. Check it out.

My issue is clearly slight different to some people's here. In the instruction video you say that the login and Finder issues won't happen when there is no adapter connected.

This is not the case for me. I can do a clean install of the driver, not plug in an adapter and still have the Finder/login issues. Remove the kernel extension and the problem goes away.
