Support for DL-3x00

[jkirker]

Picked up two J5Create JUA350's... Not happy yet... Maybe their support will be able to help tomorrow.

But unplugged my DisplayLink boxes, installed the J5 drivers (BTW - they are unsigned so you've gotta open your computer to potential security threats temporarily - no big deal but an extra hassle)...

Rebooted, screen just flashed and flashed and flashed.

Unplugged by J5 and things went back to normal.

Replugged and it recognized the device, but the screen was blank.

Tested multiple monitors and multiple cables.

Perhaps it's my Retina MBP - dunno... We'll see tomorrow.

I'm just hoping to nerd out and drop all my USB 2 stuff (displaylink boxes are all that's left).

Oh well... More to come.

Perhaps DL will give us some good news....SOON

PS. Then proceeded to uninstall the drivers - no go... System reports them to be corrupt. Strange.

Did you make sure you downloaded the Mountain Lion drivers from their Facebook page (as mentioned earlier)? The ones on their website are older and do not work properly with Mountain Lion. There are also special instructions needed to remove the incorrect drivers on their Facebook page, there are a few extra steps needed for theirs.

As for the Cinema Display, I don't know, as I will not pay that kind of money for a monitor with a few extra ports.

I am also waiting for DisplayLink to put their act together to release a ML driver, but in the meantime, would the J5Create JUA350 driver co-exist with DisplayLink driver and hardware?

Can I use the J5Create device and DisplayLink device at the same time on the same computer?

Yes, I have this in my configuration, but if you are running Mountain Lion, you may wish to uninstall the DisplayLink drivers, as they cause issues in and of themselves.

I was working directly with their tech support getting refreshed drivers before they went live. Nothing would work. Really sucked because I wasted about 4 hours of my time and because there was no real uninstall (that wasn't corrupt) I had to reinstall Mountain Lion to unhook. They also didn't sign their drivers so you had to open your OS to potential security issues.

I really like what they are trying to do, but unfortunately, I can't afford to be their beta tester.
