Big Sur Beta

rd123 · 06-24-2020, 10:34 PM

Dare I ask if anyone's tried it yet and if the current drivers work or not?

Hello,

As for now we have tested that the KEXT classic driver is working on the Big Sur beta.

We are still investigating the issue so we may have more pieces of information in the future.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them.

Best regards,
Jakub

Hello Jakub,

I am a little bit confused by your reply. First you said the the software WORKS with Big Sur...but then you said you were going to look further into the problem.

Does it work or not?

Thank you,

Matt

Hello mrogers,

Sorry, you are right that I could be more specific but at that moment I did not have enough information to post it here.

Currently, we have tested that the previously mentioned KEXT driver is working on the Big Sur beta but the application driver (1.0) is still being tested by our engineers .

Please note down that this version of MacOS 11 is still a very early version where developers may test their solutions and hence our present driver was not released for this MacOS version.

Best regards,
Jakub

Yah, we're contemplating buying a bunch of the Dell D6000 docks because it would be ideal for hoteling desks and social distancing for both mac and PC users, single cable dual monitors, ,etc. But if there are going to be issues going forward with Big Sur in the fall - its not going to make any sense to go down this path. Hopefully, this gets handled sooner than later so I can make a decision.

Hopefully we can get a definitive go, no-go on this sooner than later.

I can tell you this from the tests I have done as I use the D6000 docks everything on the doc works except multiple external screens. So if your solution has only 1 external screen and the laptop screen even if they dont fix this issue in time it still works but if you have 2 or more external screens like me then it does not work. My Big Sur Test Laptop which is a 2017 MacBook Pro 13" complains at boot about DisplayLink with an error "The Application DisplayLink Manager.app cant be opened. -1" which appears to line up with Jakub's feedback earlier
