Subject pretty much says it all. My Mimo USB display has been sitting in the closet for a long time....will the 1.8 Displaylink drivers play nice with OS X 10.8.3? Looks like the beta 2.0 drivers are giving some people big problems - so I'm not ready to try them yet.

The beta 1 seemed to be good for most users as it had 1500 downloads and there was only one issue posted on the beta in the forum. And that did not look like it was directly connected to the beta.

V2.0 is just released, so I would recommend giving it a go...

I'm still having issues with audio and ethernet (!) on usb 3.0 using V2.0 and 10.8.3

It didn't solve my problems ....
I have 10.8.3 and V2.0 and after awakening from sleep mode OSX freezes sometimes .... actually more often than before ... 4th time now since installing 10.8.3 when it was released.
When the freeze happens the screen on the display connected to the display port is completely light blue while the display connected to the displaylink usb3.0 device shows a grey/white distorted square in the lower right part of the screen.
I'm using a current Macbook Air and a Digitus usb3.0 video card.

Ditto on the ethernet issue. This is on a Mac Air 5,1 running 10.8.3 and DisplayLink Mac 2.0 Final.

Eugene- The audio issue may be due to audio only being supported over USB 2.0.

Please let me know if logs are helpful: I'll collect and submit one from the other working connection and one from the problematic connection the next time this happens.

I have the offset issue again in Firefox using 2.0 and 10.8.3.

I have 10.8.3 and 1.8 loaded and while java tends to crash on multiple displays, everything else worked including being able to use 1920x1080 for all three displays (Viewsonic VX2439wm), attached to Newer Technology USB 2.0 HDMI to USB adaptors. With 2.0 which I installed this morning, I no longer have 1920x1080 option and using Best for Display in the System Settings -> Display window defaults to 1080p which causes the dock and menu bar to disappear off the screen. So I uninstalled and reinstalled 1.8 since it was working before and now only 1 out of the 3 external monitors are even recognized. I've unplugged, uninstalled/reinstalled and got the same results. Fixed permissions and Repair disk just in case and still same result. This is sad and very :confused:. Anyone have any thoughts????

Update: I installed 1.8 as mentioned earlier then instead of Uninstalling it and installing 2.0, i just did an install on top of 1.8. Now all my monitors come back to life and dock and menu bar appear properly, but v2.0 doesn't seem to detect any resolution higher than 1680x1050 so the resolution isn't great and would prefer to utilize my max resolution for these monitors which is 1920x1080. I've attached an updated DisplayLink Information.zip file.

My machine also does not wake from sleep properly with the 2.0 driver and 10.8.3

Haven't had the occasional crashes (can't reproduce but seems to happen when a lot is happening on Safari on a DisplayLink screen) yet although I've only been running v2.0 for a few mins on 10.8.3.

This was a real pain (but the benefit of DisplayLink exceeded the pain so coped with it).

The other niggle I had was the flickering when going to iCloud.com with Safari on a DisplayLink screen. This is still there unfortunately.

Still getting the annoying screen saver issue. It randomly kicks in, even if I don't have my DL3500 device attached. This is with v2.0 GA and 10.8.3. Isn't this supposed to have been fixed? Is there some other way to fix this?

Another annoying issue: if my screens go dark after the set time in power saving settings, when I wake them back up, the system behaves as if I had unplugged the adapter. It goes through the flashing blue cycle to get it back, and so all my windows that I had on the DL monitor are moved and I have to move them back. Very annoying.

gee4vee,

What product are you using? Which Mac model?
Logs collected just after sleep would help analysing this issue.

Thank you,
Carlo

Hi,

I'm using the latest drivers on a MBP Retina 15" with OS X 10.8.3 and I have this problems:

· Screen saver start to work randomly and when I log in
· Youtube videos blinks on the usb monitor


I tried to uninstall the drivers, delete the screensaver.plist and reinstall the drivers and the problem still there.

What can I do?, thanks.

Attached are the logs after reproducing both the screen saver kicking in and the display behaving as disconnected after waking from display sleep. Hope this helps.

Any update on this issue? Were my logs helpful? I have to uninstall the DisplayLink software every weekend because the screensaver will kick in during presentations and such at church. Then I reinstall it on Monday to use at work again. Very annoying.

I have flickering too with Safari (and using 10.8.3 and DisplayLink 2.0 drivers),

So after a few weeks of uninstalling and reinstalling every weekend, the screen saver issue has disappeared. It no longer kicks in at logon and randomly while working. I'm not sure why it went away other than reinstalling every weekend. At some point it started working. So others who have seen this might want to try that.

I still get the problem where display sleep results in the OS thinking the device got disconnected.
