Has anyone come up with a way to check the version of the currently installed DisplayLink drivers? There's no app and I can't find where the actual driver files are installed to query.

@AVmcclint Here is what we are using to show the DisplayLink driver version. Has been working well.

#!/bin/sh

#
# Check for DisplayLink version
#

if [ -f "/Library/Extensions/DisplayLinkDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist" ] ; then
    VERSION=$( defaults read "/Library/Extensions/DisplayLinkDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist" CFBundleVersion )
else
    VERSION="Not Installed"
fi

echo "<result>$VERSION</result>"
