Black screens on macOS High Sierra 10.13.4+ and Mojave 10.14 Early Previews
The driver (DisplayLink Installer 4.1.11) doesn't work anymore withe macOS High Sierra bêta 10.13.4 (17E139) and newer.
Dear DisplayLink macOS users,
We are pleased DisplayLink 5.0.1 driver for macOS enables multiple extended display support on the latest Apple macOS 10.14.2 with additional features (clamshell and clone). We continue our strong support for the Mac platform and are working on delivering future updates with further performance improvements.
Driver 5.0.1: https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/file?id=1257
If your DisplayLink enabled device does not seem to work on 10.14, this is most likely due to the OS blocking our kernel extension. Please ensure our kernel extension is enabled by the OS as described in our FAQ: https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1188004
Should you still miss extended displays on latest macOS with latest DisplayLink driver, please create a support ticket so your particular case can be investigated. Here is how: https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/755301
Due to changes in 10.13.4-10.13.6, it is not possible to enable DisplayLink extended displays, except one using Apple AirPlay. If your Mac is from 2011 running 10.13.4-10.13.6 and can’t update to macOS 10.14, you should remain with DisplayLink macOS driver v4.3.1 to enable one extended USB display using AirPlay, with additional displays cloned. An FAQ details how to enable Apple AirPlay with DisplayLink display for extend or mirror mode: https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1854724
Audio and Ethernet functionality, where supported, stays unaffected in all versions.
We thank you for your feedback on DisplayLink products that helps us further improve our product offering.
Kind regards,
Alban

Hi!
I have a 2018 MacBook Pro 14,1 running Mojave 18A391.
and driver Version: 5.0 (13)I have a Dell WD15 docking station.
Connected to it are two Dell U2414H. One using HDMI and one using mini displayport.
I get picture on both of them, no black screen with white cursor. But they are always mirrored.Is that to be expected, am I doing something wrong, or is this something being worked on?

I have 2017 MacBook Pro 13" and both screens work well, but on 2018 MacBook Pro 15" I only get 1 additional screen, the other is blank (it's on but not recognised by the system).
Both Mojave and 5.0 drivers.

Not working. Tried everything. Installing, reinstalling Displaylink. I even clean installed Mojave and then installed DL v5.0. It did ask for the permission and I allowed. Restarted and connected the dock but all I get is mouse pointer on the external monitors but no picture.
I am using Dell D6000, two Dell monitors 1920X1200 and MacBook 2018 13".
The Displaylink issue has been a complete nightmare. I have never been able to use my external monitors with my macbook I really wish I hadn't spent so much money on this piece of junk. I was fine with a Windows 10 machine. No issues what so ever. Never ever again in my life that I am ever going to support Apple.
Complete trash.

DisplayLink Driver v5.0 seems to be working properly with Mojave 10.14!
MacBook Pro 2017
Dock: DK30CH2DPPD
Two external monitors using DisplayPort and extended display have been working properly for the last hour since installed the new OS and the DisplayLink driverHopefully Apple, Inc. puts is MacOS upgrade development and deployment back into the hands of professionals moving forward.

HERE IS THE FIX--- Mojave + 5.0 driver : https://pdf.wondershare.com/macos-10-14/fix-displaylink-not-working-on-macos-10-14.html . I uninstalled the driver, rebooted. Prior to installing the driver I opened the Security & Privacy/General. Entered in my admin credentials then initiated the Displaylink driver install. The Allow option apprears. Reboot and low and behold... IM BACK IN BUSINESS....

I'm also using a Dell D6000 with my mid-2018 13 inch macbook pro. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling with the dock unplugged, and only ever get a blank black screen with white cursor.
I thought that once Mojave came out that we'd get working drivers. Even with the newest official (non-beta) 5.0 drivers do not work for me.
Please take a look at the D6000 and why it isn't working.

until 22/09 my 2 screens were running normally in 4.3 beta 6. Now it does not work and the screen goes black without the cursor. Did someone solve this error?

I upgraded to Mojave and DisplayLink v5.0, now everything works as before. The best resolution works again.
Great job!
Just a question: Does Dynamic wallpaper works? For me I got a blue background at the second monitor, so I have Dynamic at the Main Screen and Static wallpaper at the second monitor.
Thanks so much!
