Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4

mail@redsnow.co.uk · 10-03-2018, 08:50 AM

Wow,

Finally....

First time since January - its working.

1:Updated to OSMojave

2:Removed old display link drivers.
3:Restarted computer.
4:Installed 5.0 beta
5:Restarted computer.

Did this a couple of times as other user suggested and boom, its working.

happy days

With Mojave and the latest update it is now working. Including rotation.

I do have an issue with high cpu use and I hear the fan of my 2014 15" mbpr constantly, which is extremely annoying. It didn't do this last year.

Practically still unusable for me (I cannot concentrate with a hovercraft on my desk).

Any sight on an optimized version?
Can I help with a debug log?

The last thing from Alban was:

The main item left to address on Mojave is some 2018 model with a fix having to be validated before distribution.

So basically, they are waiting for Apple or someone to approve their fix, and it will be released.

It works now for me!

After uninstalling the old driver, rebooting, installing the new 5.0 one and rebooting again, on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014) with Mojave 10.14 (Targus USB3.0 DV2K Dock w Power + Three monitors), the monitors got signal but remained blank.

I got them working doing this: System Preferences -> Some system software was blocked from loading -> Allow -> DisplayLink Corp.

Annoyingly this (4.3, haven't tried 4.3.1 yet) driver gets worse. Plugged in this morning and had the airplay workaround just going nuts. Wouldn't detect the display but would just keep the airplay button clicked and waiting. Couldn't close or anything, couldn't shut down properly. Had to give it the middle finger of justice on the power switch.

It's not like I needed any of my workflow open or anything

Any closer to fixing it on 10.13.6?

An update after using 5.0 for a while on 10.14

I have noticed that whilst I get picture etc, the screen is extremely laggy (motion of the mouse, dragging windows etc) especially when compared to the last working version earlier in the year, hopefully, this is something that can be improved.

I am running a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), fresh install of Mojave. Like some other users here, after following the steps below, I still wasn't getting any functionality.

1. Install Mojave.
2. Restart.
3. Download 5.0 Drivers.
4. Run UNINSTALL package from the 5.0 drivers.
5. Restart.
6. Install 5.0
7. Restart.

I did this a few times, and nothing. I read a few pages back, in case I missed something, and sure enough, another user had reported that checking System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General revealed that parts of the install from DisplayLink were blocked by the security pane. Clicking 'allow' told me I needed another restart. After that restart, everything has returned to it's original functionality, and Im hoping that these last 9 months are a distant memory.

Just wanted to say thanks for getting this all working again! I finally (hesitantly) upgraded to Mojave after reading that the newest DisplayLink version 5.0 should fix all the problems, and it does!

No more hanging out on an outdated OS just to be able to use my external monitor!

I honestly thought this was just going to languish in "oh well that sucks" or "here's a hack workaround" land forever, but you guys came through!

Hi, check my signature. I use a USB-C Dock G2 from HP. Works well with the tiny 12-inch MacBook and two 1080p monitors.
