I use the Apple wireless keyboard (bluetooth) n it wakes up my macbook pro from sleep in clamshell mode. However if your Bluetooth keyboard sleeps too then instead of just tapping spacebar twice u will need to tap it an extra time. Once to wake the bluetoorh connection and twice to wake the computer.

I’m thinking of downloading the DisplayLink software and getting some UV Plus+ devices. Can I use any monitors and how do I connect the UV Plus+ device to the monitors.

Hi,

I agree MacBook/MacBookPro should behave the same way.

Need to try out a UV Plus+ device instead of the Toshiba DynaDock.
But I would suspect that they should work the same way… but need to try…

DisplayLink is not very responsive – I’ve tried to contact them several times

Thanks for your effort.

Kind regards Uffe

Hi,

I’m using whatever version they have on their website. I have a MacBookPro but I can’t imagine that would make that much difference. I’m also running Leopard.

Hi Ben,

Wouv that’s nice !!!

I have a MacBook and whenever I attempt the same trick the displays seem to come alive and then something in the DisplayLink driver crashes and the MacBook goes back to sleep/hibernation. I need to have the lid open in order for the DisplayLink Driver to work properly.

What driver version are you using ? 0.9b from the DisplayLink website ?

Thanks for your effort

Kind regards Uffe

Hi Uffe, seems to work. Even the bluetooth keyboard. I have a USB mouse plugged in and needed to use that to wake up the MBP. When the system woke back up (MBP screen closed) only my two Dell LCDs came back.

The DisplayLink woke up and is working as well. After the computer woke back up BlueTooth keyboard connected and everything seems to be normal, minus the laptop screen.
