Windows* 7 Starter OS doesn't support multiple displays extended mode. But with Intel VGA driver, we can see extended mode item.

CUI

Windows* 7

Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset Family

Root Cause: 


Driver is populating Extended Desktop mode also in all the supporting modes, So CUI is showing EDT even it is not supported.


Check for the number of Intel graphics adapters. There will be only one Intel adapter if EDT is not supported. Use this logic when copying the supported modes from driver in TestCfg.cpp

The corruption is displayed on TV after setting the display

CUI

Microsoft Windows* 7

Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset Family

Root Cause: 

 

While reporting the dotclk to PC always send the dotclk programmed in GMCH.The value cached by RM in the planestate is from the ModeTable and may not be in sync with the GMCH value.

Bug ID: 3003837
