That is strange, even I cannot see it and get the same error.

Anyways, here is a link

Update - As per the latest information on DisplayLink Mac OS page, one can use driver v4.3 Beta 6 on 2018 laptops.

"10.14 Mojave
MacBook 2018 models (based on the Intel Coffee Lake chipset) running macOS 10.14 can experience black extended display(s) with only mouse cursor. DisplayLink driver v4.3 Beta 6 stays available to force an AirPlay extended display on these machines until a fix is distributed."

I can confirm that extended display works with one monitor, but when multiple monitors are connected, they still work as mirrored displays.

And I face some weird issues (random screen blackouts, mouse works in just one third of the screen) if I close the lid of the laptop.

Has anyone heard anything on a fix for this issue? The last email from DisplayLink announcing the latest drivers hints that the fix should come from apple.

Yes, from an Alban Rampon on the 10th, quote:

Yeah, I have tried it. 4.3 Beta 6 still does not works on my 2018 MacBook Pro.

In my case, the mirroring is working but not extended monitor.
I have rebooted a couple of times. It does not work, unfortunately.

Even when it does work it is very buggy and doesn't support high resolutions. Max is 1080p.

I've got a 2018 MacBook Pro 15 inch which is having the same problem. I'm using the release version of the DisplayLink drivers, version 5.0.1

Same issue with 5.1

I'm using Mac 2018 10.14.4 and the monitor only shows desktop background with cursor. And also when I unplug and plug again they just show blank/black, unless I keep them connected and restart my mac.

Tried also v5.0.1 and v4.x, no one works.

Please fix it asap. it is very annoy.


Thanks
