It seems that my monitor recognizes a signal (as it doesn't go to sleep) but it is not getting picture nor does it show in the 'arrangement' tab for my display preferences.

If anyone has any insight, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Did you fix this, I have had the same issue and this fixed it for me...

• Download 4.1.11 driver, install as normal
• Reboot MAC and log back in, screens are still not working
• Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy
• At the bottom of the General screen, it will say something like, certain apps were stopped from installing or loading, I can't quite remember exact message
• Click message and then select the DisplayLink Corp option and it will ask to reboot again.
• Reboot MAC and then all should be fine

Hope this helps someone!

Those instructions may work if you didn't have a DisplayLink driver installed when you upgraded to High Sierra. For those who already had the drive installed, the authorization doesn't show when you uninstall/reinstall.

I can also confirm the issue still exists with Beta 2 of 10.13.4.

Yes, it was a clean install, don't know why it can't be fixed, such a shame as I haven't used my dock for two months until today.

Same here. Beta 2 - no change to DisplayLink. Lemon colored screen. There’s irony somewhere in there.

Same. Beta 2 and its still broken.

Broken here too

Hi All,

Quick update. We (think we) have found out where everything breaks. It's a pretty fundamental change, probably linked to the eGPU hot plug functionality.

Now we "just" have to find a way to overcome the issue. How hard can it be!

Thanks Carlo! We are all cheering for you!

Can confirm I still get yellow screen in the new "g" version of Beta 2.

Thank you for the update, Carlo. It's much nicer to see an update every little bit even if a solution hasn't been found, just for the comfort of knowing you guys are working on it.

Thanks again, and good luck to you and your team!

Yes, how hard can it be?

Such a long time with no results shown. If I'd put away $25 per week since that post I'd be able to buy a really nice eGPU solution by now.
