  • Patent number: 7310099
    Abstract: A method for detecting an inappropriate video connection in an information handling system (“IHS”) that includes an integrated video controller, the integrated video controller operable to be coupled to a display device, is provided. The method includes determining if an add-in video controller is coupled to the IHS, the add-in video controller operable to be coupled to the display device. The method also includes determining whether the display device is coupled to the integrated video controller or the add-in video controller. The method further includes providing a notification that the display device is inappropriately coupled to the IHS if it was determined that both the add-in video controller is coupled to the IHS and the display device is coupled to the integrated video controller.

  • Publication number: 20070013720
    Abstract: Information handling system flat panel displays, such as liquid crystal and plasma displays, are supported on an adjustable stand having a rotation limiter that restricts adjustments of display positions to prevent damage to the display. A display bracket allows rotation of a display between landscape and portrait orientations and a support member allows adjustment of the vertical height of the display bracket relative to a base. The rotation limiter is disposed between the display bracket and support member to restrict rotation of the display bracket from the landscape to the portrait orientation when the support member adjusts the display bracket below a predetermined height at which the display extends beyond the support member. The rotation limiter allows rotation of the display bracket above the predetermined height but restricts height adjustment below the predetermined height unless the display bracket is in the landscape orientation.
