Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4

Gudd · 07-08-2018, 10:37 AM

What dock and monitors do you now have? After my time machine backups proved useless (failed to restore) I’m now sitting here watching Sierra restore to my now blank MacBook Pro and I have to say I feel pretty much done with this DisplayLink shit. I’m very tempted to just recover what little resale value I can on my setup and get something that works. But I don’t know what. I’m used to 3 screens now.

"Future release of Mac OS" hopefully does not mean Mojave.

I was running the DisplayLink adapter on a 2011 Mac Mini for a third monitor. This system will not support Mojave. We need a permanent fix that will work on High Sierra.

Downloading a new update, 10.13.6, it has some updates to AirPlay 2 although I don't think it will do anything to our cause.

More likely it will mess things up even more.

Just updated to 10.13.6. I only use one external monitor on my macbook air, still works as a second monitor via Airplay and I can still change the resolution to the max.

I bought an elgato3 dock and a 2nd hand apple 27 inch thunderbolt monitor along with a 27inch LG. I've got a desktop for home some the LG works with a HDMI switcher between the elgato and the PC. The thunderbolt 2 display has an apple adapter connected to it So I end up with the laptop display plus the 2 x 27inch monitors all being separate displays.

Meanwhile, Apple released a few new MacBook Pro models. Current lineup has only Thunderbolt 3 ports.

I believe the time has come to highlight the amazing work that DisplayLink has done to fix the issues stemming from OS X 10.13.4.

They have strived each and every day to apply their skills to mitigate this issue. Time and time again they have shown an intense sense of urgency and resolve with these challenges.

DisplayLink is a beacon of hope amongst a sea of copy-cats and would-be developers, none shall dethrone it.

And 10.13.6 is now released.

Lets see...10.13.4, 10.13.5 and 10.13.6 and 10.14 beta's,

The impression is obviously as to what is happening. When is DisplayLink going to declare the patient dead? How many more releases before they finally take the plunge and stop trying to do CPR and call it? The embarrassment of 'making progress' but never ever releasing anything has to get too much soon surely.....

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha true. This is beyond absurd.

I'd just love to get a reply from a developer to know which kernel extensions the displaylink driver is using, so I can roll those back to 10.13.3 without having to format my mac and reinstall everything from scratch.
