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

What about an installation on high sierra 10.13.3 on an external ssd drive while they come up with a solution?

SOLUTION:
I have the StarTech dock that is listed below on Amazon. I was able to get my two external monitors to work by plugging one directly into my mac with an HDMI to USB-C dongle and the other one through the HDMI port on the dock ( I could not get the displayPort cables to work ). This dock has a single USB-C cable going into my macbook pro that both powers the machine and supplies the video. It's not as elegant as being able to have the one USB-C cable from the StarTech dock as I did prior to the update, but I am back to working with 3 screens. Hope this helps someone though it will not apply to everyone.

There seems to be two kinds of users affected by this, as I keep seeing "alternatives" posted here, but they only seem to serve people who have more modern macs. I would predict a good portion of users are like me--need a USB 2 video out product. Docks that plug in via a thunderbolt port are useless for users like myself, but good to know they exist for you. I need an alternative product that will drive video out via USB. There does not seem to be one that exists.
