4. Reboot
5. Connect your DisplayLink adapter. The rotation should be back to standard.

This method does not work for me on OSX 10.7.3

I've tried several times, have confirmed that safe mode active But after restart (or even cold boot) plugging in the AOC still causes blue-screen. Opening display preferences does not seem to reset the configuration as it is supposed to? If I plug in a third monitor to get around the blue screen I notice that the Mac has not even detected/initiated the AOC monitor, as it does not show up in "Arrangement".

I've plugged the AOC into another mac and another PC to ensure it is working properly, and it has no problems there.

So, for whatever reason I am not able to reset the rotation on the AOC in the manner above. Are there any other methods? Perhaps using the terminal?

I really need this monitor working for some meetings, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
