Displaylink not working at all with 10.8 Mountain Lion

[rpetit]

I upgraded back when the new OS came out. I understand that whenever Apple updates anything there is a time table for developers to bring their software up-to-date. My issue lies in DisplayLink being somewhat slow to respond to the issues that so many are having. If it were a completely free software or there were alternatives available I could not complain, but I owned a displaylink driven device for more than one year which cost $, then when I updated and installed, uninstalled and reinstalled repeatedly with no success I assumed the USB display unit had failed so I went and purchased another USB display unit with no success. So now I'm into this stuff more than $100 and have not had use of my other screen since July.

Issue: My computer just doesn't recognize that there is a display there. It does nothing. I have tested the units on windows machines and they work fine. I have also tested the display with another machine and it works. I tested the usb ports, they're fine. So it comes back to the DisplayLink update.

When can we expect some movement on this. I have emailed with no response. I have no need to be a member of this forum except to complain and I hate to have to do this. Whats the deal guys.

There are alternatives to DisplayLink devices, look at j5Create. Please note though that you need to get the drivers from their Facebook page last that I looked to work properly.

[displaylinker]

But J5Create doesn't support the high 2560x1600 resolution, AFAIK, only Startech's DisplayLink does right now.

Please, DisplayLink people, give us a date for the beta for USB3.0 support!!!
