Multiple Screens in Extended Desktop Mode Swap Content - Revisited

JakubDabrowski · 05-20-2021, 09:53 AM

Hello DamoNomaD,

Thank you for informing us about this problem here on the forum.

Yes, we do have an updated script that replaced the older one that you posted here. Please run the below steps and verify it.

Please run this script in the terminal as a command. It will reset display settings and restore display persistence. It should allow to save your screen layout settings.

Perform these actions only with 1 laptop display, do not attach any external monitor.

Download the file: https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?d=330
Run the file (it will give you an information that it is not authorized due to security).
If you see a message related to security Go to Security & Privacy -> General tab, choose: Allow App Store and identified developers.
Next to it you should have a popup message about our display persistence script.
It will open terminal after double-click and ask for the password.
Afterwards reboot your computer.

Kind regards,
Jakub

Jakub - I forgot to include that we are running Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7. Will. the revised script work for that OS version?

Hello,

Yes, you can run it on Catalina but please make sure that you are using the newest DisplayLink Manager version ( https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?id=1697)

Best regards,
Jakub
