Hi,
I found this rather interesting article, about Kernel Extensions: Whitelisting third-party kernel extensions using profiles Something DisplayLink could take a look at, or did they done already |

That implies that they have a working system extension, which they dont. A beta driver on a beta OS that runs on some hardware doesnt really count after like 8 months. The article discusses whitelisting system extensions using Jamf, if it was a whitelisting issue then users would have a prompt to manually add the extension. Non enterprise users wouldnt have Jamf most likely. Ive had to whitelist extensions in jamf before, it would be awesome if that was the issue as its easily fixed but unfortunately its not OWC, Caldigit and HP had this working on their docks with zero downtime for users so this is a Displaylink issue not an Apple one. |

Thunderbolt docks are expensive to produce and are expensive to purchase. DisplayLink is a lower-cost alternative that most people find appealing because of that lower cost. Hopefully Apple is able to work with the DL team to help them get to where they need to go with this driver. Last edited by paultzirides; 08-29-2018 at 02:19 PM. Reason: Clarity |

Unfortunately, us peasants on the current non-beta OS with Thunderbolt 2 are SOL.
Single DisplayPort out from my Belkin dock works fine. ONE external monitor works at the wrong resolution kindasorta. The other monitor (which is rotated 90 degrees) is basically dead. Yay. And this has been the situation for six months for anyone who didn't upgrade like me. I can't roll back as I need the latest Safari. Yay. Yay. |

This is the third time I have asked this question. Silence speaks volumes. If there is not going to be a permanent fix for High Sierra, it is only proper that you let us know so that we can make some alternate plans. |

After testing completes in the next few days, we will issue a 4.3 release to allow more resolutions on 10.13.4+ than the current HD and FullHD. Regards, Alban

Apologies if I missed it.
But I have been back through the thread and see no answers regarding a possible solution for High Sierra users who cannot upgrade to Mojave because it will not support their hardware. Last edited by Chris 100; 08-31-2018 at 12:52 PM. |

DL concentrating on Mojave support, perhaps Apple backtracked a bit in Mojave on what they changed in 10.13.4+ that killed DL, who knows, but I doubt will not see anything more than a beta and res of 1080p in HS. The good news is there are now 4k USB-C screens that you can daisy chain, they also have USB-A 3.0 on the back so you can plug in a USB-A to Ethernet adapter. You just plug your Mac in with the USB-C single cable, Screen Ethernet, Power - Good bye DL docks, goodbye crappy drivers. Have a look at Lenovo ThinkVision P32u |
