Abstract
A computer system is disclosed comprising an operating system having a display subsystem. The display subsystem includes a display interface for receiving display information from applications, and is adapted to generate display output based on the display information. A redirection module is configured to intercept calls from an application to the display interface. Responsive to the intercepted calls, the redirection module transmits display output generated by the application to a connected display device, bypassing at least part of the display subsystem, including for example a desktop compositor or window manager.
