Crashes and monitor issue
Everything was working fine with 10.7 and then we upgraded to Mountain Lion and the issues started. We've tried reinstalling the driver several times and we've even wiped the computer and reinstalled osx a few times. Issues always start after installing the displaylink drivers.
Issues we are having: - When the login screen appears, it appears on the 3rd monitor (displaylink monitor) but that monitor doesn't turn on until after you login so we can never actually see the login screen. we just have to type the password in and press enter. No it is not set to be the primary monitor. - Finder crashes consistently. Anytime you try to do anything that uses finder, it crashes. |

Thanks for your report.
Do you see the login issue at boot or after logging out from a previous session? The Finder crash is quite weird. Could you please post the Finder crash log? The file should have name Finderxxx.crash and it should be located in the ~/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ folder. Thanks |

The login issue happens anytime the login screen should appear. Fresh boot from shutdown, sleep, restart, logout, etc. Will post the finder crash log in a bit when I can reinstall the driver and have my computer go crazy

Exact same issue as Doobywho.
Upgraded to Mountain Lion, used your newer 1.8 driver, now no login box...ever. Thanks to his suggestion I can still just type my pass and get in. Once there, Finder crashes every time. 2012 13" Mac Pro. Using the Diamond BVU195. I never found a Finder crash log as you asked from the OP. I did find various crash logs in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter and Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports. Attached are those. Thanks |

Same thing here !!! If I ever been informed BEFORE upgrading that I got such trouble, I will probably wait a little longer.

Both the times, I installed the latest driver from Display Link website that they claim to have been working for Mountain Lion as well. I could not even remove the driver as it was crashing the Finder again and again. Macbook pro early 2011 13 inch. Display adapter: BVU195 Unless some one confirms this is working on Mountain Lion, I am not going to install that driver again on the mac. Hope Display Link will fix the driver and does some tests before they release it to the general public. |
