Sorry, I seem to have missed that. Where did you get that info from?

A straight update is fine.

Really, please do delete the beta 1 installer image.

Cheers,
Carlo

Your issue has been fixed yes. I understand your concern!

Hi Carlo,

I'm on OS X 10.10.5 and with 2.5 Beta 2, my DisplayLink screen only displays my desktop image and the mouse cursor. If I drag a window over to the DisplayLink screen, I only see the desktop image and mouse cursor.

Some extra info, I have 3 displays on a Mac Mini 2012, main center display = HDMI, right display = thunderbolt, left display = DisplayLink USB

I have reverted back to 2.4 and everything is working again. I am hoping to upgrade to OS X 10.11.1 but will hold off until a driver is available.

Thanks,
Patrick

Still fails with old Apple Studio Display and iTunes crashes system
 

No better than 2.4 for me.

El Capitan, USB2 connected (via ADC) old Apple Studio Display. Screen remains blank, mouse can move into space, but nothing is displayed.

iTunes, when minimizing, will cause user to logout. With 2.4, this happened nearly every time app minimized. With 2.5b2 it's still over 50%, so I uninstall driver.

Let me know if you want a log.

Hi All,

Thank you for letting us know. This issue with no updates on DisplayLink screen but mouse visible has been reported a few times now and we'll look into it. It's very likely that we can provide a solution.

About minimising iTunes we'll refresh the bug we have open with Apple. I'm more optimistic now that we got a Window Server fix in El Capitan. More may come.

Best regards,
Carlo

The same thing randomly happened to me after days of use. Uninstalling 2.5 Beta 2 and re-installing fixed it for me.

High CPU and random screen freezes with 2.5b2
 

After periodic OS lockups when waking screens I've updated from 2.4 to 2.5b2 after uninstalling 2.4. Now that I'm on 2.5b2 I'm seeing that the DisplayLinkManager always consumes 40% CPU. Additionally each time I reboot, the DL screen is frozen on the login window and this persists even after login, I can then unfreeze it by temporarily reconfiguring which of my three screens is the "main display". After that I periodically get into a state where the DL screen freezes again though the mouse pointer can still move around, nothing else is being updated. While frozen the CPU returns to normal at least ;) Changing which display is the main display again temporarily resolves this frozen state. Looks like I'll be downgrading back to 2.4 as the wake from sleep lockups are far easier to manage then the issues I'm seeing with 2.5b2.

One final issue which I've been seeing on 2.4 even pre El Cap is that the DL audio will randomly unmute itself if I have it on mute, this may occur every 5-10 minutes as if the audio adapter is being reset, same thing happens if I unplug/replug USB for instance. I haven't been on 2.5b2 long enough to know if I've got the same issue there or not.

I'm running El Capitan on a 13" early 2015 rMBP i7 with 16GB. I'm using the Dell D3100 attached over USB3 to a single 1920x1080 monitor as well as ethernet and audio and a Time Machine backup drive. I also have two 4K monitors attached directly to the Mac.

I've just attached a "spin dump" of the DisplayLinkManager while it is consuming the 40% CPU

thanks,

I don't think it happened to many folks (I hope not), but when I updated to 2.5 beta 1 my adapter was no longer found even after I uninstalled and reinstalled 2.4. When I connected to my setup in my office all is well using 2.4. Something about the update damaged the firmware in the adapter.

Thanks Carlo. I think I'm still going to sit on the sidelines for a bit.
