9. A dual graphics processing method comprising:
-
performing graphics processing on a first graphics processing unit; forwarding results of said graphics processing from said first graphics processing unit to a display; performing graphics processing on a second graphics processing unit; and performing a graphics processing unit change over process in which results of said graphics processing from said second graphics processing unit are forwarded to said display instead of said results of said graphics processing from said first graphics, wherein a backlighting signal is driven by said first graphics processing unit even after a switch to said second graphics processing unit. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory, tangible computer readable medium with instruction embedded therein for directing a graphics processing unit change over process comprising:
-
directing transitioning of a panel to a quiescent state; changing driving of display interface signals from a first graphics processor to a second graphics processor; and directing transitioning of said panel to an active state and utilizing a panel control signal transmitted from said first graphics processing unit as a feedback event to trigger said changing to the second graphics processor, wherein at least a portion of backlight control is driven by said first graphics processor even after said changing of display interface signals from said first graphics processor to said second graphics processor. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
