Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: determining, at a computing device, whether a display device is initialized, wherein the display device has an associated display configuration; responsive to determining that the display device is initialized, determining whether the display device was previously configured, wherein when the display device has not been previously configured, analyzing the associated display configuration to determine whether the associated display configuration corresponds to a safe mode; executing a display configuration process when the associated display configuration does not correspond to a safe mode, the display configuration process comprising: terminating the display configuration process when an optional mode is identified as compatible with the display device; wherein when the associated display configuration corresponds to a safe mode, determining whether the safe mode is a supported mode; when the safe mode is a supported mode, configuring the output signal, and when the safe mode is not a supported mode, analyzing one or more unsafe modes to determine whether the one or more unsafe modes are supported modes and configuring the output signal when an unsafe mode is a supported mode.
