Abstract
A monitor includes a file that identifies one or more compatible monitors and/or a list of features of the monitor. A processing unit, such as a computer, that does not specifically support the particular monitor may nonetheless configure itself to operate effectively with the monitor. If the processing unit supports a compatible monitor, it configures itself to operate with the compatible monitor. Otherwise, the processing unit may configure itself to support the features of the particular monitor.
