Abstract
A method for detecting an inappropriate video connection in an information handling system ('IHS') that includes an integrated video controller, the integrated video controller operable to be coupled to a display device, is provided. The method includes determining if an add-in video controller is coupled to the IHS, the add-in video controller operable to be coupled to the display device. The method also includes determining whether the display device is coupled to the integrated video controller or the add-in video controller. The method further includes providing a notification that the display device is inappropriately coupled to the IHS if it was determined that both the add-in video controller is coupled to the IHS and the display device is coupled to the integrated video controller.
