Yes. I followed the uninstall driver, update OS, reinstall driver path and I still have the same issues.

I have 2 USB connected monitors both are Dell 1907FP connected via DVI to 2 different BVU195 adapters which are plugged directly into the USB ports on the side of the Mac. Machine is a early 2011 17" Macbook pro. Monitors are not rotated and are all in one horizontal line.

(laptop's internal screen)(USB monitor)(Video card external monitor)(USB monitor)

Strange text blurring happens on both of the USB monitors and also the GUI buttons for some apps are not drawn in the same location as where you click to activate them (Firefox).

This is exactly the same issue I had before this update.

Any news on a fix?

Seems to work for me too so far !!!

1- Uninstall 1.7 driver
2- Install OS X 10.8 over 10.7
3- Upgrade to OS X 10.8.2
4- Install 1.8 driver

No login behavior anymore
No corrupted applications
Only background did not saved properly.... but it is not a big deal !!

Unfortunately I don't think installing OSX 10.8.2 reliably fixes the problem.

After installing 10.8.2 and uninstalling/reinstalling the DisplayLink (1.8) driver, all of the symptoms from before are still present ... and in fact are present immediately.

On OSX 10.8.1 I could install the driver, usually work for most of the day, then have problems and uninstall/re-install the driver. Now its stuffed as soon as I install the driver :-(

I really wish DisplayLink would make a comment on what is happening.... the silence is deafening.

I just posted on the other thread about Mountain Lion problems that I may have found a work around, but I won't be able to fully test it until tomorrow at work. The work around is not ideal, but if it works, I will post it.

After a few days, I am beginning to have issues again under OS 10.8.2, so I am not certain what is going on.

uninstalled 1.8 (weeks ago now)
upgraded to 10.8.2 --> rebooted
installed 1.8 --> rebooted

Immediately got the "hidden" username/password box, logged in anyway and used hot corners to activate screensaver and apps started crashing just as before... For me, 10.8.2 didn't fix anything.

*sigh* I guess I'll stare at my blank 24" monitor a while longer...

Still working for me since september 20th. Crossing my finger

Installation steps are crucial.

I have a MacBook Pro (mid-2012) running 10.8.2. Installed the 1.8 driver and found that many programs would not run, flash games did not run, advertisement on various news websites would not load, Safari downloads button would not show the downloads (had to search for the 1.8 driver manually in the downloads folder). A simple uninstall recovered my machine, but cannot use USB graphics card. Whats wrong?

It seems ages since we've had word from anyone on these issues. Does anyone know of an open source Mac driver? Maybe we need to start work on one! We should be able to use the Linux one as a starting point.

I know its been awhile since we've heard anything from DL. I suggest we all take pictures of the issues we're having them. Then tag DL's facebook page with the issues.

They aren't answering so perhaps we take this to a more public forum.
