Automatic configuration of sub-display positions in multi-stream transport mode

An information handling system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that when executed cause the processor to perform operations including:
• in response to detecting that a display device is in a multi-stream transport (MST) mode, determining a display partition layout of the display device, wherein a first display partition is associated with a first pre-defined encoding, wherein a second display partition is associated with a second pre-defined encoding;
• transmitting setup display patterns in the MST mode according to the display partition layout of the display device, wherein the setup display patterns include a first display pattern and a second display pattern, wherein the first display pattern is associated with the first display partition and a first encoding, and wherein the second display pattern is associated with the second display partition and a second encoding;
• routing the first display pattern to the first display partition and the second display pattern to the second display partition;
• comparing the first encoding of the first display pattern with the first pre-defined encoding of the first display partition and comparing the second encoding of the second display pattern with the second pre-defined encoding of the second display partition;
• and
• in response to determining that the first encoding of the first display pattern does not match the first pre-defined encoding and the second encoding does not match the second pre-defined encoding, swapping the first display pattern with the second display pattern.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium to store instructions that are executable to perform operations comprising:

• in response to detecting that a display device is in a multi-stream transport (MST) mode, determining a display partition layout of the display device, wherein a first display partition is associated with a first pre-defined encoding, wherein a second display partition is associated with a second pre-defined encoding;
• transmitting setup display patterns according to the display partition layout of the display device, wherein the setup display patterns include a first display pattern and a second display pattern, wherein the first display pattern is associated with the first display partition and a first encoding, and wherein the second display pattern is associated with the second display partition and a second encoding;
• routing the first display pattern to the first display partition and the second display pattern to the second display partition;
• comparing the first encoding of the first display pattern with the first pre-defined encoding of the first display partition and comparing the second encoding of the second display pattern with the second pre-defined encoding of the second display partition;
• and
• in response to determining that the first encoding of the first display pattern does not match the first pre-defined encoding and the second encoding does not match the second pre-defined encoding, swapping the first display pattern with the second display pattern.
