Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4

[Wozzy]

So what is happening to support 10.13.6 - It would appear nothing!

I have users screaming at me needing DL. We can't wait for Mojave as in an enterprise environment it will be at least 2 months befoe we approve for use.

We need a final driver for 10.13.6 NOW.

I was not aware of those USB monitors -- they look like very handy gadgets!

Yes, I agree that if your company won't upgrade your equipment, it's a problem. I'm also an iOS developer and luckily my employer was willing.

So is there an adapter out there that will let you have 2/3 monitors with 10.13.6? I'm willing to buy right now!!

What make and model of computer do you have?

My 2011 Mac mini will not support Mojave when it is released.

Apple will be supporting it on High Sierra (and providing security fixes) for another 2 years.

Is there a plan for a permanent fix for users who cannot migrate to Mojave?

Unfortunately, not that I know of. That's why I upgraded to the latest MacBook Pro.

Hi,

I found this rather interesting article, about Kernel Extensions:

Whitelisting third-party kernel extensions using profiles

Something DisplayLink could take a look at, or did they done already

That implies that they have a working system extension, which they dont. A beta driver on a beta OS that runs on some hardware doesnt really count after like 8 months. The article discusses whitelisting system extensions using Jamf, if it was a whitelisting issue then users would have a prompt to manually add the extension. Non enterprise users wouldnt have Jamf most likely. Ive had to whitelist extensions in jamf before, it would be awesome if that was the issue as its easily fixed but unfortunately its not

OWC, Caldigit and HP had this working on their docks with zero downtime for users so this is a Displaylink issue not an Apple one.
