Mac Pro no longer boots under 10.15 with Asus MB169B+ as primary monitor

Thanks for the reply,

Firstly, it's not a laptop it's a Mac Pro so it doesn't have a screen of its own.

Under 10.14 while travelling, the Mac Pro would work with the Asus USB monitor only - no other display.

But now when I boot after installing 10.15 and new Asus drivers (which uses DisplayLink) nothing comes up - I initially see the Asus logo but then black. I've left the Mac Pro booting for over 10mins which is plenty of time for it to boot-up but the screen never works.

The Asus screen works as a secondary display when the Mac Pro is connected to a normal monitor but not when it's the only screen connected (like it used to).

How do I use the Asus USB monitor as the only monitor with a Mac Pro under Mac OSX 10.15?

I hope that makes more sense.

Cheers

Ben
