System and Method for Graphics Remapping in Hypervisor
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A hypervisor operating system implemented on a computer-readable medium for execution by a digital processor to:
- present to a main operating system a single virtual video driver;
receive demanded display data from the main operating system representative of pixels; and
send first pixels to a first video driver associated with a first video display and send second pixels to a second video driver associated with a second video display.

Abstract
A hypervisor operating system instantiates a virtual video driver to a main operating system that supports only one type of graphics adapter. The virtual driver handles graphics remapping among plural different display drivers associated with plural different display monitors to enable a computer to output data on multiple different monitors even though the main O.S. supports only one type of display driver.

8. A computer system comprising:
-
at least one processor; at least two displays configured to display data demanded by a main operating system executable by the processor; and at least one computer readable medium bearing a hypervisor operating system executable by the processor to present to the main operating system one and only one display driver for receiving data from the main operating system and distributing the data to at least first and second display drivers transparently to the main operating system. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
