sadly, won't be available before the weekend?
productivity has gone way down this week without my second and third monitors. this is pushing me to buy and install the OSX 86 hackintosh with multiple display cards so I won't ever have to rely on displaylink again! |

My system is a mid-2009 27" iMac with a 20" Samsung monitor in portrait (rotated) mode on the left, connected to the built-in displayport, and a 24" Benq monitor, also in portrait mode on the right, connected via an HIS Multi-View II DisplayLink adaptor.
I use the Benq/DisplayLink for all my messenger programs, so the lower performance of USB adaptors is not a problem, as it only has to display mostly static primarily textual information. I had held off upgrading from 10.6.8 until now, because some apps and utilities that I rely on were still PowerPC only, not yet Intel or Universal, so when I finally decided to upgrade, it was straight from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3 and it was there that I found the problem with 10.7.3 and rotated displays. I've read through all the postings on this forum, and I have similar symptoms to many other users, of a blue screen on my left and centre (built-in) screens, and flickering black on the USB-powered screen. However, I have got around the problem for the moment by moving all the messengers onto their own screen in Mission Control and leaving the USB-attached screen switched off. Not ideal, but a workaround. I'd imagine that my "DisplayLink Information" zip file will be the same as everyone else's but have attached it anyway. I've also read on the net about the possibility of downgrading the OS from 10.7.3 to 10.7.2, and it seems to be universally considered to be a bad idea, so I will just stick with the situation I have, rather than trying to make it worse. However, like many other posters to this forum, I would be very keen to be an alpha or beta tester for any 1.7.1 or 1.8 driver, as I am very very keen to get my third screen operational again.

where is the alpha or beta? at this point, I'd rather have something that might work instead of not having anything?

or get a Displayport splitter by Matrox or Atlona.. problem solved and no need for this USB display driver BS... and save some CPU power for your apps.

Confirmed
I can confirm that eazywig's method of going into safe mode and then restarting my MBA brought my AOC e1649fwu back to life, albeit in landscape mode. The one difference was that in when I was in safe mode, the AOC didn't show in Display Preferences. Therefore I wasn't able to reset the rotation back to landscape mode. It didn't seem to matter because my end result was the same as eazywig's: a working DisplayLink monitor.
Needless to say, I won't be touching portrait mode until DisplayLink figures this out. Quote:

I have tried booting into safe mode, but my Mac just stays on the boot screen with spinning wheel for hours and fan engaged. I had to shut it down due to overheating.
How long does it take for guys to enter safe mode? |
