[Solved] New MacOS Catalina breaks DisplayLink

For me this is also NOT solved. I checked the appropriate boxes in the security settings but the third screen stays black. It is shown in System Preferences -> Monitors, but thats all, nothing is visible on the screen.
I have tried installing the older driver again, uninstalling and installing 5.2.1, nothing seems to helps.

MacBook Air (Beginning of 2015, 2.2GHz i7)

Now, again, after the desaster with MacOS 10.13, I am left with a missing screen in my working environment...

I've reinstalled the driver + Checked screen recording box + Reboot several times without succes. The displays show up in preferences, but they remain black. First install cursor was visible, now nothing.

Please fix this.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017) with Dell U2717D external monitor.

After the upgrade, I simply missed the checkbox in System Preferences / Security & Privacy / Screen Recording. Made the mistake of installing the beta 2 driver, which did not work. Downgrading back to 5.1.1 and making sure the box was checked and bingo, I have my external monitor back.

Thanks man! With 5.1.1 it is working again. I just tried 5.2.0...
