Abstract
An information handling system (IHS) stores display characteristics information of the last display coupled to the IHS prior to a boot or suspend/resume operation. Upon receipt of a boot or resume command, time is saved by the IHS using the last display characteristics information to activate the current display if the current display characteristics information is the same as the last display characteristics information. Otherwise, the display is reinitialized which consumes more time in the boot or resume process.
