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

Does anyone at DisplayLink care about their customers? When is the driver issue going to be fixed? What is the hold up? Your customers want to know.
This is pretty ridiculous, I will never purchasing your products again. -

What a crap company. Dev versions were out prior to the release, yet no communication. Displaylink knowingly knew this would break and did nothing. Don’t blame Apple when you took no action. This is not a forward thinking company. And now, still shit communication. Poor customer service.

Hi folks. I feel your pain Eamon S. If there is to be some kind of progress on this issue by DL and Apple, it appears it will only get jump started by some sort of social media campaign. Believe it or not, Twitter can be very influential to companies like this. A good ole fashioned drag the reputation through the mud for a bit may just the motivation they need to pull their heads out. Anyway, just a thought. Keep the faith!!!

What is DL going to do if Apple doesn't step up to fix the bug? Do we just own big paperweights now?
