Patent ID: 8531352

Claim:
A multi-monitor driver, comprising: a processor coupled to an EDID memory; one or more monitor interfaces coupled to the processor; wherein the processor is configured to: read Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) from one or more monitors coupled to the one or more monitor interfaces; determine compatible EDID data based on the EDID data read from the one or more monitors; determine a consolidated EDID data based on the EDID data from the one or more monitors and the compatible EDID data, the consolidated EDID data being synthesized from the compatible EDID; determine whether at least one parameter in the consolidated EDID data is greater than an allowable limit; write parameters of the consolidated EDID data into the EDID memory that are determined to not be greater than an allowable limit; and write default parameters into the EDID memory for parameters of the consolidated EDID data that are greater than an allowable limit.
