Updated to 10.11 and my 2nd display (Orico USB3 to HDMI adapter, MacBook Pro mid 2012) working as well as before (Yosemite) and I'm still using ver 2.4 driver. Look forward to improvements with ver 2.5 driver.

@Developers are you able to coax OS X into not drawing shadows onto connected displays when the DisplayLink screen is being used to draw them? It seems that when a window has a shadow that overflows onto another ATI or Nvidia driven display that the window drawing slows down dramatically and slows down overall performance.

http://plugable.com/products/uga-2k-a -- used 4 + 2x display port out before el captain. Using 2.5 they fail kinda randomly... anywhere from 1 to 5 monitors. Continuing to use yosemite drivers. Kinda works... a lot of unplugging and replugging things randomly until they all "click" with the OS.

- New driver does not work with my setup 4 DL monitors + 2 mini dv to 24 inch Dell monitors from 13in early 2015 mbp. Anywhere from one to all six displays have been operable. All six worked for about 20 minutes before one crashed and two others followed in short order. No apparent idea why, but at least one of the extended screens seems to turn on, and generally the one installed in the port nearest to the power.
I note that I had similar luck with the beta release supporting Yosemite and was using an even older version of the software to support my six display configuration, which actually worked great.
I will say though, for what it's worth, the remaining displays seem to perform better... not sure if it's a display like upgrade, performance boost from new os (widely touted) or the mere fact that the system doesn't have to deal with all the displays it did before... at any rate, about $800 of my hardware (including purchases of about $290 incorporating display link tech... hoping i can get to the bottom of this or that a beta update solves m woes.
Any useful logs to follow when I have time to sleep.. seemed for a minute like the trick might just have been connecting the monitors in the right order with the right time delay to make sure the software was available and the screen fully powered off... i will experiment using my .plist with disablemonitor and some sleep timers.

New driver does not work with Kingston USB2 / DVI or with Cable Matters USB3 / HDMI. With the Kingston plugged in the 2nd monitor is recognized but only shows black screen. With the Cable Matters plugged in there is no monitor recognition and the active USB indicator goes in and out. OSX 10.11 GM on 2013 MacBook Air 13"

We have been experiencing issues as well with the Plugable ud-3900 on the beta OSX 10.11. Our users have reporting no video output as well as limited other basic functionality of the product since their beta upgrades. With the release of OSX 10.11 on our doorstep we are getting concerned that we will have multiple systems that can no longer use their docking solutions. Can someone provide an update on the support path to see an updated displaylink driver for OSX?

Upgraded to 10.11 today - Displaylink crashes my machine (total reboot without warning) about once an hour... any news on new version?

The driver does work on 10.11 GM to some extend but it's still horribly broken. Even this website does not render correctly as you can see in this screenshot: http://s11.postimg.org/8vo5s10hv/broken.jpg

The most recent driver release seems to work on the GM build of 10.11. A little odd sometimes, seems to "hang" occasionally and sometimes has some vertical lines, but overall it works for an infrequently used display.

What's the ETA on the pre-release driver? I specifically bought a DisplayLink tech product because of OS X support but it is horribly broken.

Agreed. Enough is enough. Have had to return both external portable USB 3.0 monitors I've tried in the last few weeks that are "DisplayLink Mac OSX compatible" but yet neither work on my Macbook Pro 13 Retina - neither work with DL2.4 - neither work using an extra external USB 3.0 powered hub - neither work after over 10 hours of restarts, installs, uninstalls, forum searches, hacks. Understood if Apple is the problem here - then stop promoting your ability to make devices work - thats ok - instead of buying these products and now feeling like I want nothing to do with DisplayLink products, services or technology I would have avoided the purchases and see have a positive brand relationship with you.

Remove osx compatibility. The known issues make it unusable. I'm having safari and firefox crashes unless i configure my screens in a way I don't want. My 3d apps have lag. Don't get me wrong it works for some apps but the fact I had to spend all evening messing around to get 'some' things working is not good.

I've been using a Mac for years now, I've seen different hardware and I've seen different software. From what I've seen, I've grown accustomed to seemingly good quality products. But what I've seen from DisplayLink ever since the DL3xxx products came out was simply in another league. It really stands out compared to other products I've seen. And I don't mean to pull DisplayLink down in general, but seriously, other companies are doing a lot better job in supporting hardware with proper drivers.
Ever since the first Dl3xxx chips were available I've been waiting to use it and until this day, I haven't had the same experience as the Windows platform has seen for DisplayLink. All you guys (Apple including!) is point to "the other" and say "it's their issue that's causing this". I'm asking you, DisplayLink co-workers to do as might be expected from any decent, honest and hard working company. Please pay proper attention to ALL your supported platforms, or simply DON'T support them at all. At least we (the buyers) than can decide were to spend our hard earned money.
Honestly: if USB type C is picking up, I'll gladly spend a higher amount of money on that for native support, than the current solution you guys offer Mac users today...
Please guys, do better...

DL USB3 to DP has worked fine for me since the 3rd developer preview. In fact, it works better than on 10.10
