MacOS Sierra Performance
 

Hallo,

I have recently installed driver for DisplayLink version 2.6 from the download section. It seems the drivers seems to be buggy with many problems on Sierra. The second monitor has a laggy mouse and some of the images doesnt seem to appear on safari or photos. When i exit full screen mode from a video, safari keeps crashing and refreshing everytime. Also mission control doesnt work correctly, mission control previews cannot be seen and screen just hangs for couple of min when i enter mission control. I have already raised a bug report on apple site , but i don't know when it will be resolved. Kindly could you check and solve this issue as soon as possible.

Rahul

sometimes randomly my usb screen will just go black and my mac will just log me out too


product is basically useless atm

Reduce transparency
 

Try going to System Preferences > Accessibility > Reduce Transparency > [CHECK]

Stability is very good on my Mid-2012 MacBook Air so far.

Hallo,

The solution above doesnt seem to solve the issue.. When i open youtube on the display like monitor, the images doesnt appear and i have to sometime move mouse over the image to make it appear.. Also in safari when i exit from full screen mode to normal mode, the browser keeps crashing and refreshing contents (displays a small message on the browser "the page refreshed due a problem in safari"). So the issues still exists..

The beta build of Sierra 10.12.1 seems to fix most problems, mostly including the issues you discuss. If beta sounds like it's right for you, go sign up, else wait until the release.

Hi,

I just signed up for the beta program. Since this is my first beta experience, i have a few questions... firstly will it spoil the other working application on the system? And when the actual release comes out, will we be able to download that official release? i ask this because from the Apple beta site, i downloaded a package which allows app store to download beta versions, when the official release comes out, will i also be able to download that? i don't want to keep running on Beta versions ;)

Typically Beta's from Apple are safe, but always back up your system using Time Machine or your backup tool of choice, just in case.

They just released the official release of 10.12.1 today, so be sure to re-download/uninstall/install drivers for DisplayLink after update.

It seems that most of the crippling usability issues have been solved, however the DisplayLink Manager is continually using almost 100% CPU now...

EDIT

I've just restarted and it seems better now, although I can confirm that things like Mission Control cause the displayserver to crash and the user is logged out.

Hi,

I have updated the Sierra FAQ with the status with 10.12.1: http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...cos-10-12-sier

Shad0wcat I think we've got the 100% CPU issue nailed finally, we're working on that now. The next release should address it.

Carlo, great to hear about that CPU issue.

I'll raise a bug report with Apple about the windowserver crashing..

Hi Shadowcat,

We have checked the first developer beta of 10.12.2 and we cannot reproduce the Mission Control crash anymore.
Since this kind of issues is related to timings, the result may be different for different systems so would be great to know how it looks for everyone else.

Also, the internal screen not waking from sleep seems to be OK now (only affected a few systems).

Regards,
Carlo

Should I wait for both 10.12.2 and your next driver?
 

Dear Carlo, I am still holding updating my Mac OS to Sierra (10.12) because of the problems. Do you mean the Sierra 10.12.2 will solve most of the issues even with your current driver (ver. 2.6)? If so, I can just wait for the official release of Mac OS 12.2.2 by Apple. Or, the issues can be solved only by the combination of Mac OS 10.12.2 plus your next updated driver (ver. 2.6.1 or 2.7)? If the latte is correct, please tell us when is the expected date of your release of the new driver?

I just installed the beta and am seeing the same, it looks like this horrible bug may finally be fixed!

I've only tried it a few minutes, but had no crash or logout swiping between desktops.

Now that I've used it a bit, it's still not 100%.

The logout bug is gone, but glitches remain.
- It's still not very smooth and a bit choppy when moving around
- Dragging things to another display results in black windows until you click on another app or something

With the new Mac Book pro´s that only have USB-c, I don't think Apple will ever support anything over USB3. It's not really in their interest, and would be out-of-character. I don't know how much support Apple provided before; but if there was any, I think it will stop now.

Im into about the fifth day with this display, and am finding more and more things which just dont work.
I think this is the most incompatible screen i ever had.. within a couple of weeks it will be relegated to the shelf to collect dust unless either ASUS come up with some drivers that work, or Apple fix the causes..
I was considering buying a zenbook lately but after this experience.. i think thats me done!
cant watch my apple dhcp content, mouse lags, scrolling freeze, no mission control as such, screen wont wake after sleep.. as well as the logout issue.. i have automatic login set with single user and it still logs me out.
Im starting to conclude that ASUS have released something that people are going to find out is hardly usable for many people's purposes.
Shame it was a good idea, but the incompatibilities make this product as you say USELESS to any serious user.
