10.7.3 incompatibility? - Page 12

qthatswho · 02-29-2012, 08:14 PM

Actually, as I mentioned, it does not work 100% of the time. I am unable to boot with extensions off (safe mode) due to a filevault2 encrypted disk. I would be happy to employ this workaround, if it actually worked for my machine's config. I'm in a managed system environment, and have no capacity to disable FV2, so I need to find another way to reset the display settings such that rotation is not an issue.

Sorry.. I missed the FileVault reference.. Try creating a user that isn't file vaulted and boot in to that person, unless you are full hard drive encrypted, then I am afraid you might be boned.. but don't quote me on that.

Sadly, FV2 is full-disk encryption, so it seems like I'm screwed. Even uninstalling the driver, removing all prefs and re-installing seems to leave me in a hosed state.

Yeah, unless you can actually boot in safe mode I think you are screwed, unless Displaylink has any insight on this.. yours is a very specific environment setup.

Actually, it is not that specific. I have a mid-2009 17" MBP without FileVault in use at all and it too will not boot into Safe Mode. My issue is that I have removed the DVD drive and added an additional SSD, setting up the two SSD's in RAID-0. This causes Safe Boot not to work. I have four external monitors, all rotated, and only the one using the miniDisplayPort to DVI adapter is working. The other three (using Diamond BVU195 USB devices) cause the blue screen issue. Wish I could find a way to use them, even in portrait mode for now!

Please disregard my home office. It is obviously being renovated...

We have an Alpha release that has a prototype fix for the 10.7.3 rotation issue. You are welcome to try it but remember it's an Alpha: it has gone through very limited testing so you are going to install and use it at your own risk!
If you previously had a working rotated DisplayLink screen you can just install the new driver and the rotated screen should come back to life.

If you do try it, please post your feedback in the new 1.8 forum: http://www.displaylink.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=45

Best regards,
Carlo

P.S. NautiqueJeff it would be great if you could post a picture of your setup working!

Awesome!! That totally fixed mine too. I even added a fifth monitor to the mix today, and that one is working too. Great job fixing this!!

And Carlo, here's your picture!
