摘要： Techniques are provided for connecting multiple monitors to a computer system. In an embodiment, N monitors are connected in a daisy-chain manner and constitute a virtual monitor, which the computer system considers as the only monitor in the system. The last monitor, e.g., the Nth monitor reports its display capability to the (N−1)th monitor, which aggregates its capability and the capability of the Nth monitor to the (N−2)th monitor. The (N−2)th monitor aggregates its capability and the capability of the (N−1)th and Nth monitor to the (N−3)th monitor, etc., until the first monitor in the chain aggregates the capability of all monitors in the chain, and reports this Total Capability of the virtual monitor to the computer system. When displaying information, the computer system provides the display information to the first monitor, which displays what it is responsible for, and passes on the rest of the information to the second monitor. The second monitor displays what it is responsible for, and passes the rest of the information to the third monitor, and so on, until the last monitor in the chain displays its information.
