Problems solved by technology

[0005] In order to solve the above problems and realize the hot-swapping technology of the VGA display, the present invention proposes a method for dynamically identifying and configuring an external display by regularly obtaining the EDID data of the display. The method obtains the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data , to expand the display identification data) data, to realize the function of actively detecting the display. After the display is found to be replaced, it can obtain the EDID data of the newly inserted display, and reset the working mode of the graphics card according to this data, so as to solve the problem of not being able to VGA Problems with monitor dynamic hotplug detection

Embodiment Construction

[0019] In order to make the object, technical solution and beneficial effects of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

[0020] The overall scheme of the present invention is to acquire and reset the working mode of the graphics card according to the best resolution and refresh rate of the current display through active timing detection of the external VGA display. Specifically, the present invention regularly detects the EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) data information stored in the current display, and judges whether the current display has been replaced through correctness detection and difference comparison. If it is found that the current display is different from the previous one, immediat...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for dynamically identifying and configuring an external display. An external video graphics array (VGA) display is detected actively and regularly, so that a working mode of a display card is reconfigured according to the optimal resolution and the refresh rate of the current display. In the method, extended display identification data (EDID) information stored in the current display is detected regularly, so that whether the current display is changed can be determined through correctness detection and difference comparison; if the current display is different from the previous display, the optimal resolution and the refresh rate which are stored in the EDID of the current display are resolved immediately; and then the working mode of the display card can be reconfigured according to the new resolution and the refresh rate, so that the problem that a user changes the VGA display through hot plug, so that the resolution of the display cannot be automatically adjusted to be the optimal mode or the problem that an output of the display card exceeds a resolution value range, so that the display has a black screen and outputs abnormally can be solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of display hot plugging, in particular to a method for dynamically identifying and configuring an external display by regularly acquiring EDID data of the display. Background technique [0002] Display hot plug detection HPD (Hot Plugging Detect) is a detection signal output from the display to the computer host. The function of hot plug detection is that when the digital display is connected to or disconnected from the computer host through the HDMI / DVI (High Definition Multimedia Interface / Digital Visual Interface) interface, the computer host can The HPD pin of / DVI detects this event and responds. [0003] However, the early display interface VGA (Video Graphics Array, Video Graphics Array) cannot actively send the HPD signal to the host due to the lack of hot-swappable pins in the hardware structure, resulting in the host being unable to know the connection and disconnection of a VGA display. Unable t...
