DL versions 1.5 and 1.2 do not work with macOS Monterey

After further debugging it appears DisplayLink Manager does not support user profile switching. It was working fine before I updated to latest DisplayLink Manager version - but cannot recall what I had installed beforehand.

Will start with latest USB legacy driver and work up from there.

I downgraded to Legacy Driver 5.2.6 with Intel MacBook running Monterey and everything is working again. Clamshell mode works, user profile switching works, extended login screen works. Until the DL Manager is upgraded I will be staying with the legacy USB driver (or until it no longer works).

Hello,

Thank you all for reaching out!

Unfortunately there are too many various issues reported in this thread to answer all.
Please keep in mind:

• DisplayLink Manager 1.2 is not officially supported in Monterey - the support for this OS started with driver 1.5
• Legacy software (aka. KEXT drivers) 5.2.6 and earlier are not supported in Big Sur and Monterey. For those OS versions make sure to use latest driver.

Please make sure to post detailed problem description including information about the docking station/adapter or USB monitor brand and model and also collect logfiles that will help us search for root cause (instruction how to collect logfiles can be found HERE ).

For speedy support please start a ticket with our support team by sending detailed problem description and logfiles to technical-enquiries@synaptics.com.

Best regards,
Katarzyna

Any update on this? Will there be a new display link software for Monterey?
