Hi to all,

Has anybody tried the new beta? It stipulated that screen rotation is now implemented in M1s.

Can't see the option anywhere...

Thanks

Just installed it, very nice how the screen shut down and then came right back up again. But it still has no rotation option, even when opening system prefs with command+option held down.
Rebooted machine and still seeing the same -- no rotation option. This is running MacOS Big Sur 11.6.1.

"On Apple M1 silicon, display rotation requires DisplayLink Manager 1.6 Beta or newer, and macOS 12 Monterey"

I can't see the image for some reason - I am logged in?
Can you host it somewhere else and paste a link?
Try rebooting
Try uninstalling Displaylink and then install the beta?

Installed the beta. Rebooted... Not working. Is this to be set inside the display link software or in the prefs of the computer?

In the displaylink software - should be a Screen Rotation option visible in the GUI when you click on the Displaylink top menu bar icon.

Try uninstalling and then reinstalling?

I wonder if this could be caused by an issue with how you are connecting your monitor... I am using DisplayPort from the DisplayLink dock to the monitor. Perhaps there are issues with other connections such as HDMI, etc.

Hello,

Do you have MacOS Monterey?
From the screenshot it looks like you are running Big Sur and not Monterey. If that is the case then just as @andrew_green mentioned. Screen rotation rotation requires DisplayLink Manager 1.6 Beta or newer, and macOS 12 Monterey - it will not work in Big Sur.
