Abstract
A method of setting a pixel clock frequency for a display of an information handling system (IHS) is disclosed whereby the method includes detecting an identifier associated with a wireless card operable for use with the IHS. The method also includes selecting a timing descriptor, the timing descriptor associated with a display setting and wherein the timing descriptor corresponds to the identifier. The method further includes setting the pixel clock frequency based on the timing descriptor selected.
Claims20
A method of setting a pixel clock frequency for a display of an information handling system (IHS), the method comprising:
- detecting an identifier associated with a wireless card operable for use with the IHS;
- selecting a timing descriptor, the timing descriptor associated with a display setting and wherein the timing descriptor corresponds to the identifier;
- and
- setting the pixel clock frequency based on the timing descriptor selected.
An information handling system (IHS) comprising:
- a wireless card coupled to the IHS;
- a basic input/output system (BIOS), wherein the BIOS is configured to detect an identifier associated with the wireless card;
- a video basic input/output system (VBIOS) within a graphics card configured to operate a display coupled to the IHS, the VBIOS configured to select a timing descriptor corresponding to the identifier and wherein a pixel clock frequency is set based on the timing descriptor.
A computer-readable medium having computer executable instructions for carrying out a method, the method comprising:
- detecting an identifier associated with a wireless card operable for use with the IHS;
- selecting a timing descriptor, wherein the timing descriptor corresponds to the identifier;
- and
- setting the pixel clock frequency based on the timing descriptor selected.
The computer-readable medium of claim, wherein the timing descriptor is stored in a register of an extended display identification data (EDID) file of the display and the EDID file comprises information selected from pixel clock frequency, refresh rate, vendor information, image size, color characteristics, serial number, panel resolution and character strings.
