Desktop arrangement forgets when Mac sleeps
I have two additional monitors and the multiple display setup works a treat with the adapter.
I regularly use multiple desktops to separate work tasks and also hide a bunch of stuff when I'm on zoom. When my mac sleeps and wakes up, the separated desktops and respective apps within all get dumped onto my second monitor and I have to rearrange them back each time. Does anyone know any ways in which I can prevent this? |

Same issue here, with a Macbook Air M1. I tried everything, with the precious help of the OWC hub seller (macway.fr) Impossible to make it work: once asleep and waked-up, DisplayLink Manager doesn't recognise my two HDMI screens. Had to systematically unplug and replug my OWC DisplayLink USB-C Dual HDMI 2.0 4K adapter.
Once monitors are detected again, I had to setup their arrangement again. I'm pretty sure it is not an hardware problem, but a software one. Same issue with version 1.7 or 1.8 (beta at this stage). |

Had this issue for a long time, and found a way to work around it.
1. Install DisplayPlacer ```sh brew tap jakehilborn/jakehilborn && brew install displayplacer ``` 2. Configure the displays to be on the definitive arrangement you want it to be 3. Run `displayplacer list`. This will print a long output but what matters to us is at the end: ``` ... mode 47: res:3360x1890 hz:60 color_depth:4 scaling: on mode 48: res:3840x2160 hz:60 color_depth:4 scaling: on mode 49: res:4096x2160 hz:60 color_depth:4 scaling: on Execute the command below to set your screens to the current arrangement: displayplacer "id:65CF52D2-4D65-9866-C792-BAE1233F7DFE res:1680x1050 color_depth:4 scalingn origin0,0) degree:0" "id:ED61CFA3-165E-4A21-2F94-B100084444A1 res:1080x1920 hz:60 color_depth:8 scalingff origin3600,-840) degree:90" "id:0000410C-0000-08CC-0000-0CEE00000000 res:1920x1200 hz:60 color_depth:4 scalingff origin1680,-1200) degree:0" "id:00004C2D-0000-0D20-4357-413400000000 res:1920x1080 hz:60 color_depth:4 scalingff origin1680,0) degree:0" ``` Now we can use the command provided there to restore the display arragement. 4. Save the last emitted line to a script and run that script whenever the screens are misconfigured. I've linked this script to a shortcut so whenever screens are out of place I press the shortcut and they automagically restore themselves. |
