Monitor Arrangement Issue

danielwsmithee · 11-11-2009, 06:00 PM

I've had really good luck with my 2 display link adapters, but the monitor arrangement of OS X can sometimes get confused.

I have the following setup MacBook connected to a Dell Display VIA DVI.

DisplayLink Adapter1 connected to 1st Samsung 22" display.
DisplayLink Adapter2 connected to 2nd Samsung 22" display.

The two samsung displays are the exact same model.

The displays are arranged as follows, with the Dell in between the two samsung displays.

Samsung - Dell - Samsung - MacBook's Display

The DisplayLink Adapters are connected to a USB hub. When I connect the USB Hub to the MacBook there is a 50% chance the Samsung displays will be swapped in the arrangement.
