MBP 2.53 i5 - DL only works with 2nd monitor

Shepstar · 01-03-2011, 08:29 AM

Hello,

I have a Kensington Display Adapter and a Village Tronic Adapter which both use the display link software.
Since getting the new MacBook Pro 2.53 i5 and updating to Snow Leopard, the Display Link will only work if I have a second monitor connected to the Mini DisplayPort. It will work if I booted with a second monitor and then unplugged the Mini DP, but if I boot without a second monitor connected to the Mini DP I get a Screen with black and white Stripes and can't do anything.

It is rather annoying because I would like to use my two second screens I now have standing unused at my office and at home and the adapters.
I'm waiting for over half a year to something happen.

What can I do to get the things going again, so my monitors and adapters aren't worthless standing on my desk.

Thank you.

Can you run the DisplayLink information tool and attach it to your thread?
