Description

Dxgkrnl calls a kernel-mode display driver's (KMD) DxgkDdiDisplayMuxGetDriverSupportLevel function to query the level of support the driver has for the automatic display switch (ADS) feature.

Parameters

DriverContext

[in] Handle to a context block that is associated with a display adapter. KMD's DxgkDdiAddDevice function previously provided this handle to Dxgkrnl.

pDriverSupportLevel

[out] Pointer to a DXGK_DISPLAYMUX_SUPPORT_LEVEL value in which the driver writes the level of ADS support that it provides.

Return value

DxgkDdiDisplayMuxGetDriverSupportLevel returns STATUS_SUCCESS if it succeeds. Otherwise, it returns an appropriate NT_STATUS error code.

Remarks

This DDI is called under synchronization level 2.

DxgkDdiDisplayMuxGetDriverSupportLevel is called before DxgkDdiStartDevice. It's meant to return just the level of automatic display switch support the driver generically has. The support level returned shouldn't be influenced by any other factor, including:

• The GPU the driver is loaded for.
• Any other GPU in the system.
• Any aspect of the system; for example, internal or external monitor connected, system type, or any information obtained from the system.

If the driver supports automatic display switching on any system then it return a value that isn't DXGK_DISPLAYMUX_DRIVER_SUPPORT_LEVEL_NONE.

For more information, see Automatic Display Switch.
