So far I have only needed to complete these steps once and it seems to be a permanent fix, but you can certainly do it multiple times if you find that you need to. Restart your computer in reglar mode and all should be well now with your extra monitor working.

Use the Install KEXT and drag the DisplayLinkDriver.kext into the window and click install. Restart your computer in regular mode and it should start up normally. (OS X will not let you simply move the file) Now delete the same file from your /System/Library/Extensions folder. Now, open finder and go to /System/Library/Extensionsįind the file DisplayLinkDriver.kext and copy it to your desktop. Open terminal and enter chflags nohidden /System/Library/

Restart your computer ins safe mode, if you cannot get finder to open. So far, my Fix works, here is what is you need to do: Not sure why I'm different or maybe people only come here when something is wrong but for me it's fine for work and I believe updates are coming likely from both Apple and DisplayLink given this is a new OS there are bound to be teething issues. I had one issue with flickering in Safari which is when I have the option selected to show recent site images, but resetting this to not show the site image selection screen and default the browser to a given website overcomes this. There is a very annoying bug in the 10.8 OS which changes random text to caps when entering phrases like 'I'm ' which is nothing to do with DisplayLink but other areas work fine. Basically the apps I use every day for business including Microsoft and Outlook all work fine. I use a Toshiba docking station and two USB adapters for a three screen solution at work (four with my MAC screen included). Im using a MAC Book Pro, Core 2 Duo, so not the latest model but have upgraded with DisplayLink from Tiger, through Lion and now on to Mountain Lion. One external monitor: DVI to Thunderbolt, Second external monitor, via Kensington Adapter w/ Displaylink (now down due to uninstall of DIsplayLink 1.8 Driver). Note - I"m using a Late 2011 MBP 13" w/ 2.4GHz Intel i5.

I can't tell what the graphical issue pushing an otherwise ok driver to go kerplunk from the OS X 10.8 side. Using outlook to choose a file to attach to email - outlook crashes when choose file in dropdown. Screen Saver initiation w/ hot corner failed. System Preferences crash upon attempting to view screensaver options. Installation of Chrome fails (Console noted simultaneous plugin issues with FlashPlayer 10.6) New installation ran fine until installation of DisplayLink Driver v1.8. I had a clean install of OS X 10.8 and noticed a number of repeating issues.
