This forum seems to only have bad stories about Mavericks, but there are people out there with working solutions.
My home desk I have a Macbook Air (2013) running these external screens:
1 * Dell 30" via TB to DVI-D converter
1 * Dell 24" via StarTech USB3 Display Link at 1920*1200
1 * Dell 22" via Climax Digital USB3 Display Link (connected via a USB2 extension atm) at 1680*1050
1* Iiyama 18" via Kensington USB2 Display Link at 1280*1024
So this is a setup with 3 DL adapters, at a different resolutions via different adapters using different speed USB connections. Some are connected via USB hubs, some are direct.
The only problem I had was when I first connected things. I re-installed the 2.1 Beta driver, and everything has been recognised fine since then.
There are only 2 problems I currently have:
1.) Laggy mouse (due to be fixed with the 2.1 proper release)
2.) Doesn't remember the positions of the screens across reboots (big deal).
I just have to be careful which apps I put on the DL screens at the moment so that I'm not bothered by the mouse lag. It's obviously not as good as ML, but for a couple of weeks, I'm not bothered. There are always problems when Apple brings out a new OS, so people should be aware of that and not jump in if they are bothered about it. It's not ideal, but it's a fact of life.
Sorry to those that can't use them at present for whatever reason, but I didn't want everyone visiting this forum thinking that no-one could use them at all.
Ready for the flaming that is no doubt coming my way...
