10.7.3 incompatibility?

It would be best to choose the monitor's native resolution but too many monitors lie about that so probably the highest resolution is the best choice at least for digital displays.

If this is working we'll post an alpha marked with flashing red lights and alarm sounds for you to try: the last time we worked around an OS bug and the resulting beta was not working on all systems (because of another OS bug, mind you) we've been shredded to pieces in this forum.. part of the job!

Hi,

I've been following events here, and tried to employ all of the workarounds posted, but had no luck. I believe there is some issue with entering Safe Mode when FileVault2 (full disk encryption) is enabled. I can't seem to get into that mode (system, just keeps rebooting after progress bar in EFI).

I can't get my second display working at all, and if I connect the DisplayLink adapter, it hoses my machine because the blue screen appears, and there's no way to get out of it (even removing DL adapter has no effect).

I'm okay with giving up rotation for now, but I really need my second display. Any other thoughts on how to reset the display prefs so that I can at least use my other display?

Thanks in advance.

I just got a DisplayLink unit to use with my new 22" screen running at 1920*1080, I works great but I was kind of disappointed with the lag on the screen, not even the mouse is moving smoothly, but as for what I have managed to read is that there has been a big decrease in performance from 10.6.x to 10.7.x.. I just wanted to hear what the status of getting a performance boost from the driver?

But still loving my new extra screen..

Fantastic, Carlo! Thanks for the update. :-) (I almost forgot that CRTs even existed; can they easily be physically mounted at 90deg?)

Looking forward to the alpha version with all the (red) bells and whistles. ;-) Feel free to PM me if you need a more gentle evaluation of the driver. I'd be glad to help out and regain use of my second display.

sadly, won't be available before the weekend?

productivity has gone way down this week without my second and third monitors.

this is pushing me to buy and install the OSX 86 hackintosh with multiple display cards so I won't ever have to rely on displaylink again!
