The system transmits 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 a first display partition, and wherein the second display pattern is associated with a second display partition. In response to determining that the first display pattern should be associated with the second display partition and that the second display pattern should be associated with the first display partition, the system associates the first display pattern with the second display partition and associates the second display pattern with the first display partition. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: in response to detecting, by a processor, 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. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising querying the display device for a number of display partitions of the display device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising querying the display device for a resolution of each one of the display partitions. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the setup display patterns include a different color patch for each one of the display partitions. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the swapping of the first display pattern with the second display pattern is performed within a pre-defined period. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the determining of the display partition layout of the display device is based on a lookup table. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein each of the setup display patterns include an extended display identification data serial number. ### Claim 8 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;

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. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the operations further comprise querying the display device for a number of display partitions of the display device. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the operations further comprise querying the display device for a resolution of each one of the display partitions. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the setup display patterns include a different color patch for each one of the display partitions. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the swapping of the first display pattern with the second display pattern is performed within a pre-defined period. ### Claim 19 (depends on 14) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein the determining of the display partition layout of the display device is based on a lookup table. ### Claim 20 (depends on 14) The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 14, wherein each of the setup display patterns include an extended display identification data serial number.
