Abstract

A system that senses the geometric layout of a multi-display system and then automatically configures a graphics adaptor to drive the proper ports to each display in the sensed layout. The present system and method eliminates the interactive configuration step described above by using a sensor (e.g., a camera) to determine the layout of the screens. The graphics adaptor is then automatically programmed with the appropriate display device configuration.
