Our mission is to bring joy to people at work! We are combining the portability of a laptop with the productivity of working on two screens. DisplayLink furnishes support for display, ethernet and a range of USB ports. As such, when DisplayLink ceases to work in 10.14, the Mac user’s productivity might wind down and fears for the cost of remedies might come lurking.In most instances, the user sees all the indications that DisplayLink is fully functioning as a USB utility, but the connected screen do not respond accordingly.

You can attach up to 4 additional displays on any Intel Mac OS X system with DisplayLink-based USB virtual graphics adapters. Whenever images are redrawn, the CPU is heavily involved, so it may not be as snappy as your main monitor — but it’s the easiest way to build an amazing, plug and play multiple monitor setup on the Mac.
If you’ve never installed DisplayLink’s Mac drivers, here’s a walk-through of the steps (using OS X 10.6.7 and DisplayLink’s v1.6 Mac driver):
1. Fire up Safari, go to this page to download the Mac driver :
http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php
http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php
You’ll want to download the latest driver, because DisplayLink’s Mac drivers are still improving, and because new Apple OS updates often require updated drivers from 3rd parties.

Finally to change your primary monitor, all you have to do is go to ‘Arrangement’. Click on the white bar and drag it to the other screen. As soon as you release the mouse the primary monitor will change.
Notes:
- DisplayLink’s virtual USB graphics don’t support OpenGL or Quartz Extreme, so apps that do high-end 3D or video should stay on your main monitor.
- DisplayLink adapters can support VGA, DVI, and HDMI as outputs (below is a high end one that supports all three, and a less expensive one that’s VGA only). They don’t support DisplayPort or any of the earlier Apple proprietary connectors, so watch out with Apple Cinema displays.
