  • Patent number: 6094690
    Abstract: A computer system having a control system for controlling a VGA module built in the motherboard is disclosed. The operation of the internal video module is dependent on the existence of an add-on video card mounted in an expansion slot of the computer system. The control system for enabling and disabling the internal video adapter module includes an IDSEL (device identification signal line) signal masking and unmasking circuit provided at the IDSEL signal line placed between the internal video adapter module and a system bus, wherein the masking and unmasking of the IDSEL signal are responsive to a control signal fed from the computer system; and a system BIOS outputting the control signal supplied with the IDSEL signal masking and unmasking circuit through a general purpose input/output module, wherein the output of the control signal is dependent on the existence of an add-on video card mounted in an expansion slot.
