OS X 10.6.3 and DisplayLink Rotation
Posted on 30. Mar, 2010 by Bernie Thompson in Using
There are reports of a few problems with the just-released OS X 10.6.3 update from Apple, and current DisplayLink drivers (1.5 and 1.6 beta) for Mac. In particular, displays in a rotated (portrait) configuration are corrupted. Switching back to standard unrotated mode is a workaround.
DisplayLink users on Mac might want to hold off on Apple’s update until any problems are shaken out.
It is no rumor, those of us with 90 deg.(portrait mode) rotation monitors have a problem. Display Link is trying to track down what apple did different in 10.6.3. I used time machine to roll back to 10.6.2 with success.
A quick update: DisplayLink has released their 1.6 beta 2 software with this problem fixed!
