## Display Device Driver Reference for OS/2

### Primary Display Identification

The primary display is the default display chosen by VIO for full-screen sessions. It is also the display on which VIO and hard error pop-ups are shown. Notice that the primary display used by VIO is not necessarily the display on which the Presentation Manager environment runs. The Presentation Manager interface normally runs on the highest resolution display. In a dual-display configuration, the highest resolution display is not necessarily a display that can be used in text mode.

The primary display is the pop-up display. A physical video device driver must determine if it represents the pop-up display. If so, the video device driver must specify that it represents the pop-up display configuration in Query Config Info.
