FCPX crashes while trying to open

I installed the FCPX 30 day trial, and it worked fine the day of. Today ( a day later), when I try launch it, it crashes and closes before I even click anything.

This is the error from the log:

Application Specific Information:

[FFHGRendererInfo initWithLocation:] CGLSetVirtualScreen failed - didn't expect to get here. Investigate why this code ran: [FFHGRendererInfo initWithLocation:] CGLSetVirtualScreen failed: loc=1, ctxt=0x7fd5ab01b600, err=10008

I have encountered the same issue, and it happens when:

importing media to events
opening events which includes media

My MacBook Pro (15-inch 2017) is connect to LG UltraFine 5K display, so I disconnected it from my mac as you suggest.

FCPX starts and work with no problem when not connecting to a display. However, after connecting to a display the error always occurs.

Do you have a external monitor connected to a laptop? Launch the application before connnecting the monitor.

Exactly same problem and same behavior here. After installing latest OS, working on super expensive 5K LG Monitor from Apple became impossible. I wonder if Apple is ever going to fix this.

Have you read the solutions to working with these monitors? When to connect them? How to use the computer and application with them?
