Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4

Pbowater · 07-16-2018, 08:18 AM

Just as a side note for people that need two externals, I am happily using the 13.4 driver to get one monitor over AirPlay, and have my other monitor plugged in via the display port.

This is all on a 2012 Mac Air, and is running 'OK' , but not as good as when I had both monitors running through my Targus dock.

Beta 3 is out, have they fixed this bug?

I can't even install Beta 6 on Mojave Beta 4.

The installer tells me I have to be admin, even though I'm admin.

I was about to ask if anyone has tried the new Mojave beta.

Still no good I guess.

Mojave Developer Beta 4: Still forced AirPlay with mirrored display.

I'm curious as to what technical challenges the DisplayLink team has been dealing with. It's been several months since Mac OS 10.13.4 release and while it's probably true that Apple made drastic changes to how video output is handled to enable support of external graphic cards, I'm surprised that a competent team of software developers hasn't been able to find a proper solution other than the AirPlay hack.

At the moment only possibility if you use three monitors like me is to switch back to Sierra. Of course, it's painful but at least you can use your monitors.

I have been following this thread for a long time and I haven't seen anything positive.

For those of you that were tired of waiting for a fix to work on High Sierra, just wanted to let you know I tested out the dell usb-c adapter and it works for the dual monitor setup.
