Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method for accessing display configuration information in a multi-graphics-processing-unit (multi-GPU) system, which includes the steps of asserting a select signal to steer the display configuration information of a display device, which is coupled to a discrete GPU (dGPU), to a motherboard GPU (mGPU) in the multi-GPU system if dGPU is unavailable, and validating the display configuration information prior to availing the dGPU or the display device as an option to be selected.
