Well it was good for a while.

Unfortunately OSX 10.8 broke* the DisplayLink driver. DisplayLink have know this for months, but rather than releasing a fixed version of the driver, they are pushing forward with a new re-architected driver (which they need to support USB 3 for their new chipset on OSX).

They say they "hope" to deliver this new driver in Q1 2013 and they expect it to fix the problem. I'm quite sure it isn't likely to bring any new bugs along with it...

In the meantime my monitor remains blank frown

DON'T BUY DISPLAYLINK IF YOU WANT TO USE IT WITH OSX.

* two things are broken, the login window is blank and it crashes Finder and Skype repeatedly. The login window I can cope with by tabbing around blindly, the Finder and Skype crashes are a showstopper
