Not sure if you are going to see this, but I couldn't find your contact details. I whipped up two different versions that might work, one is with different build options and the other uses nstimer instead of cvdisplaylink to animate the display.

Let me know if any of them work. Thank you!

Oh, that sucks :/ So far, my best guess is that it is a graphic/driver issue. Can you send me your specs, processor, graphic card, that kind of thing? Maybe I can find a similar machine somewhere to debug on. Btw, thank you for taking the time to run it from terminal, I really appreciate it.
