Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that configures a computer system to switch between graphics-processing units (GPUs). In one embodiment, the system drives a display using a first graphics-processing unit (GPU) in the computer system. Next, the system detects one or more events associated with one or more dependencies on a second GPU in the computer system. Finally, in response to the event, the system prepares to switch from the first GPU to the second GPU as a signal source for driving the display.

Abstract: A computing system that supports the use of multiple displays in display mirroring mode and extended display mode may automatically determine a display mode in which to configure the system (with little or no user input) based on various characteristics of the displays in the system. For example, the system may determine that a television, projector, or other presentation type display is connected in the system, and in response, may determine that the system should be configured in a display mirroring mode, rather than in an extended display mode. The system may also determine that the presentation type display is the preferred display, and may render image content in a best (or preferred) mode for that display using its native resolution, aspect ratio or color profile. The system may then scale the rendered image content for display on other (non-preferred) displays, such as an internal display, without re-rendering it.

Abstract translation: 支持在显示镜像模式和扩展显示模式下使用多个显示器的计算系统可以基于系统中的显示器的各种特性自动地确定其中配置系统（具有很少或没有用户输入）的显示模式。 例如，系统可以确定在系统中连接电视，投影仪或其他呈现型显示器，并且作为响应，可以确定系统应该以显示镜像模式而不是扩展显示模式来配置。 系统还可以确定呈现类型显示是优选的显示，并且可以使用其原始分辨率，宽高比或颜色配置文件，使该显示的图像内容以最佳（或优选的）模式呈现。 然后，系统可以缩放渲染的图像内容以在其他（非优选的）显示器（诸如内部显示器）上显示，而不重新渲染它。
