Question Endless log spam _CGXGLDisplayContextForDisplayDevice: No matching context for device

So I've just put in an Anker USB3 -> HDMI adapter, loaded the latest beta software and it works great.

However my console is now spammed *ENDLESSLY* with

Code:

About 12 lines a second, it doesn't stop.

Any suggestions on how to stop?

I'm on 10.9.2

Well, I'm not sure what I did to fix this, but after several reboots and clearing nvpram, the log messages have stopped. (cmd-option-p-r during boot before grey screen)

Hope it stays that way.

So what you have observed is THE primary reason I've been avoiding the 2.2 beta all this time. I have a solid state drive and the last thing I need is a dozen long lines PER SECOND and forever written to a log file. Someone previously said the log files are capped in size so it shouldn't be a problem - but that's beside the point. Yes they are capped in size, but they are still endlessly overwritten as the never ending stream of console output continues (and wearing out my SSD).

I tried your suggestion about zapping the PRAM and it did help! Now the console spew isn't continuous, but comes in big spurts whenever anything in the DisplayLink monitor happens (e.g. moving a window, scrolling in a window, Expose etc.). Fortunately moving the mouse around in the DisplayLink monitor doesn't trigger the console spew. It's a lot better now, but it definitely still needs fixing.

Oh man... I just went back in to check, since you said that and it's still happening. My ASL logs yesterday are about 2gb ARGH!!!

This is completely unacceptable. I assume you don't have this problem with an earlier release? I'm thinking about trying an older driver. I can't do this to my system.

After I zapped the PRAM I installed the latest 2.2 beta and now I only get the spew when stuff happens in the DisplayLink window. There are actually several of the same error messages even when I do things in other non-DisplayLink displays, but at least now it's not continuously, relentlessly flooding the console - now it's just activity based. It's still bad and needs fixing, but it's much better. Who knows, it might all start up again like it did with you - if that happens then I'll be uninstalling 2.2 and going back to 2.1 again (with all of it's awful display jittering that 2.2 seems to have fixed).

The only reason I'm using a DisplayLink solution is because, even after all this time, a lightning hub that's even remotely affordable just doesn't exist :-(.

Well I just cleared my asl logs, and went to 2.1 drivers. So far no logspam. 2.1 drivers so far seem to work just as well as 2.2.
