2.5 beta 3

paultzirides · 11-30-2015, 05:24 PM

Creating this thread for the purpose of discussing the latest DL drivers for Mac (2.5 beta 3).

2012 11" MacBook Air
Anker USB 3.0 DisplayLink dock (HP W2072a)
Mini-DisplayPort to DVI connector used for other display.

So far, so good.

When both displays are connected to the dock, the 1080p monitor will not light up when any resolution over 1440x900 is selected.

Hi Paul,

This is something we can certainly help with. Can you please send us the debug logs following the instructions in http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...to-displaylink

Regards,
Carlo

Thanks for this thread - it would be nice if someone from DL would tell us a new driver was out and if it fixed any of the critical issues we reported

Yes alphadog apologies, we only contacted directly a few people that reported issues.

The beta 3 fixes a number of device and screen recognition issues on El Capitan.
We'd definitely recommend everyone to upgrade.
Very interested in what you think about it!

Best regards,
Carlo

No problem.

I installed it, hooked up the dynadock and all works as expected. Will report any issues.

Cannot replicate the issue now. Yesterday it was definitely stuck, today it works pretty phenomenally. Throwing what I can at it to see if there are any other issues. Thanks for the support, folks.

Things seem far more stable with this beta so far. I can leave the DL dock connected overnight and come back in the morning without fear of having an unresponsive computer.

Wake from sleep also seems to work as expected.

Performance is certainly better, but still stutters at times. I'm not sure what the expectation for performance is, but it feels like it is just a little behind what I have come to expect from Windows-based workstations with DisplayLink docks.

That being said, I feel far more confident in recommending DisplayLink products with these recent changes. My experience may be different from other people's but I really do appreciate the hard work you have put in to getting this product working more smoothly.

Good job guys.

Because it’s almost Christmas I just want to share my experience here. I am using a Lenovo dock wit 2 displays connected + Ethernet + USB disk. And I must say for me everything is fine at the moment (OK I do not use iTunes at all). Chrome, MS Office, Mail, Atom editor Virtual Box ... no problems. I also disconnect and reconnect the dock every day and even this is good.

Thank You for the good work !!

I have two monitors that are the same. The one connected using mini displayport to dvi adapter have 1200x1920 resolution, but the one connected through the usb display link only has 1200x1600. Both are using dvi-d cables
