problems with Plugable adapter and DisplayLink drivers

klassa · 07-09-2012, 04:37 PM

So far, I've tried the 1.7 driver, the 1.8 alpha driver, and the 1.8 final driver.

I'm running MacOS 10.6 on a mid-2010 MacBook Pro.

I'm connected to an HP display as primary (via dual-link DVI) and a Dell display (via the Plugable on USB).

When I have the DisplayLink drivers installed (either one), I can't boot with a monitor attached. The boot stalls before I even get the spinning gray circle.

Once booted, I experience a loss of USB connectivity from time to time -- seemingly randomly. Things will be fine, then all of a sudden my USB-connected keyboard stops working.

Is there a way to check whether these are known bugs? Is there something I can do to work with DisplayLink engineering to help track the problems down?
