Hi DisplayLink ~
I just replied to another user who seems to have a similar problem.
I have had your product for 6-9 months now and really love it. However, I've had to uninstall and reinstall the drivers at least 4-5 times over that period when my displaylink monitor just "stops working" ...
Nothing I've tried has fixed it. It is a second monitor, in addition to a displayport monitor I also have hooked up with a displayport to DVI adaptor I use for that one. The displayport monitor *never* has an issue, but every couple of months, my displaylink monitor doesn't work.
I uninstall the driver, reboot, reinstall the driver, reboot, and then it works again.
UPDATE: And yes, I've tried disconnecting/reconnecting, I've tried disconnecting the displayPORT monitor and only using the DisplayLINK, I've tried rebooting several times (without uninstalling the driver), etc. Only behavior that seems to 'repair' the issue is to uninstall and reinstall the DisplayLink driver. I'm on Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion), not Mtn Lion or Mavericks. /UPDATE
I'd like to see this aggravating behavior fixed, of course. Short of that, it would be nice to at least have an option to "reinstall" the drivers (that is, uninstall/reinstall with only one-reboot in-between) somehow.
Can someone from DisplayLink address this issue and answer my questions?
Thanks!
