Description

Configuration File Name

Provide a name for the configuration you are creating. This name is required and is used when you create packages. The name can consist of any alphanumeric characters and any special characters and must be between 1 and 50 characters. You must enter a configuration before you can enter any other information on this page.

Platform Chipset

Select the target chipset for this configuration from the drop-down list.

Display Configuration Mode

Select the type of display configuration from the drop-down list. You can select any one of the following display configurations:

• Single — Single display configuration.

• Clone — Two displays where both displays have the same content but can have different resolutions and timings.

• Vertical Extended — Two displays where primary and secondary displays can be configured with separate timings. Note the resolution for the secondary must be the same as the primary. Content comes from a single framebuffer that spans both displays oriented vertically. This option is available only for Windows Embedded Compact and MeeGo OS (E6xx).

• DIH — Dual Independent Head. This is a configuration where both displays can have different resolutions, different refresh rates, and different content.

Note: On Microsoft Windows* DIH configurations, the display DOES NOT automatically come up in extended display mode. You must go into the Display properties on the Control Panel and manually set the display to DIH mode.

Overlay Color Correction

Overlay Color Correction allows the Overlay plane to have color-correction settings that are different from the main frame buffer color-correction settings. See Overlay Color Correction.

Display Detection

Display Detection allows you to specify if the driver should detect displays on the system. The default is Disabled. For more information on Display Detection, refer to Display Detection and Initialization.

Port Devices (Available Ports, Port Order)

The Port Devices section lists the ports available based on the chipset selected.

The Available Ports box lists the ports available to the chipset. You can move these port devices to the Port Order box to determine the search order for detecting attached displays. To move a port device to the Port Order box, either double-click the port device or click the port device to highlight it, and then click the right arrow button to move it from the Available Ports to the Port Order box.

The Port Order section allows you to determine the search order for detecting attached displays for the Display Detection feature. When Display Detection is enabled, the Port Order determines which display is primary and which display is secondary.

You can choose default ordering by not moving any of the Available Ports to the Port Order box and leaving the Port Order box empty. Default ordering is chipset-specific. See Table 41. Default Search Order for more information on default port ordering based on chipset.

When you move one or more ports to the Port Order box, you can configure each port by clicking Next. For each port listed in the Port Order box, you can click Next to configure each port. See Configuring Ports for information on configuring ports.

Clone Settings

Clone Width

Clone Height

Clone Refresh

If you are creating a clone display configuration, you can specify the width, height, and refresh rate for the clone display in this section. For more information about clone display configurations, refer to Enhanced Clone Mode Support.

Overlay Off

This field allows you disable Overlay support, which is enabled by default.

Note: This field is only for Microsoft Windows* operating systems. The Linux* OS configuration for the xorg.conf provides a standard option that performs the same function.
