Ready to test with Lion?

[masto]

I'm a developer working on Lion/10.7 compatibility for my own apps, so I'm going to be spending a lot of time in development builds. I miss having my mini monitor available -- the 1.6 beta 3 driver does not appear to function, it just gives a black screen. I'm hoping the next beta will target 10.7 as well.

I am also having this issue. According to the /var/log/kernel.log ->
Feb 25 14:33:29 Josh-Barrows-MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: DisplayLinkFramebuffer(11851)::updateModetableRota tion: weird mode index:22.

Feb 25 14:33:29 Josh-Barrows-MacBook-Pro kernel[0]: DisplayLinkFramebuffer(11860)::updateModetableRota tion: weird mode index:31.

This is the type of error that I'm receiving. It seems each time that is logged, the adapter restarts.

Thanks much for any help.

a fix for this would be great!

installed lion yesterday but have to use my snow leo to work until the driver works with lion :(

[Carlo]

Yes the DL drivers are not working with Lion at the moment. We're working on it as you would expect... no timescales yet.

[jkirker]

I have the same issue... :( Hope to get the new driver soon. ;)

[jbarrow]

Carlo,

Thanks much for the reply, we're very much looking forward to a fix.

Count me in, I miss my third monitor in Lion too. Happy to help test experimental drivers.

[matthusby]

I would also be very interested in testing with Lion.

[jkirker]

10.7 is right around the corner. Is anyone working on a new driver for this???

Please advise ASAP.

[jkirker]

OSX 10.6.7 is out - DO NOT UPDATE IF YOU WANT YOUR USB VIDEO TO WORK.

DisplayLink - when will you have a new driver set to address this?

Thanks,
John

The drivers were not working with the last OSX developer update (as of yesterday) however they are now working with today's release.

Rotation is now also working.

What do you mean the latest version of OSX? 10.7 is the latest as of the 25th? You must be talking about 10.6.7?

Yes, 10.6.7 wasn't working before the release - however 10.7 (Lion) is right around the corner and it DOES NOT work with the current Lion Seed.

I was wondering if there has been any progress made in the past month on the Lion compatible driver. Thanks for your time!:D

[Carlo]

I don't have much to add to my previous post, just that of course the people in this forum will be the first to know about a Lion compatible driver.

Developer Preview #2 is out today... They are getting closer. Did you guys hire or are you working with anyone to get this working?

[MisterSpock]

On the latest Version of Lion (Version 10.7 (Build 11A444d)) the drivers are not working. The second screen stays black and is flickering.

Please DisplayLink - get on this - or so many are going to be in a world of hurt... ;(

[jbarrow]

I agree... it seems they probably only have one or two guys working on the Mac stuff. That worries me quite a bit, as so many of us rely on them for our productivity.

Come on DisplayLink. Step-up. Give us more information. If you're not going to be able to deliver, let us know so that we can figure out another solution.

[MisterSpock]

Prerelease 3 also does not work. Any news on this item ?

[MisterSpock]

Any news on this ? 10.7 is going to be released soon...

[jbarrow]

MisterSpock,

No, but it's very frustrating how horrible they are at communicating with their users. They are totally keeping us in the dark here. Many people depend upon their software for their day to day work flow, and they seem to have an aloof attitude about the whole thing.

*sigh*

[Brad]

no doubt something will be posted this week.. big day tomorrow in SFO..

[Carlo]

I guess this discussion can move to http://www.displaylink.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=38

Thank you for being so patient and let us know how the new driver works on Lion!
