Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4

[Carlo]

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!

Regards,
Carlo

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!

I also had my DisplayLink stop working with the last 10.13.4 Beta, which was a bit of an annoyance, but I was pleased to find that I wasn't the only one.

I'm happy to report that with the latest 10.13.4 Beta (17E150g) update the problem seems to be resolved. It came out in the last 12 hours.

I'm using a USB-DVI on an older Mac mini, and I'm very pleased to have back the use of the second monitor.

This update didn't solve my issue unfortunately. Anyone else have any success with the latest beta?

No luck. Problem is exactly the same. Tried all the troubleshooting too just to be sure including unistall / reinstall. Glad to get the above update from Carlo.

No change for me either with the latest High Sierra beta.

just to confirm: With 10.13.4 beta version 1 I did have black screen, now with 10.13.4 beta version 2 I di have yellow screen with mouse pointer visible.

Just to follow up to my own post, what Beta giveth, Beta taketh away. I'm on the 17E170c build and alas I'm back to using a single monitor.

Still broken in 10.13.4 Beta 5.
