Abstract
In a method of pre-processing for dynamic removal of a graphics display device from a computing apparatus, upon receipt of a command to remove the graphics display device, an address of the graphics display device to be removed is obtained based on the command. A driver module of the graphics display device to be removed is then notified to release system resources of the computing apparatus allocated to the graphics display device to be removed. Thereafter, an operating system of the computing apparatus is notified to inquire the driver module of a current state of the graphics display device to be removed so as to acquire a response from the driver module indicating that the graphics display device is in an unused state, thereby terminating use of the graphics display device to be removed.
