HISTORY
-------
Ver 4.04.03 Build 001 (This Release)
- Fixed a random issue where the desktop colors are displayed incorrectly
after a
resolution mode change. The issue was caused by write errors that could
randomly occur
due to interrupts while programming the RAMDAC's look-up tables (LUT).

- WHQL certified for G200eW3 (not G200eW) for Server2019, Server2016,

forward.
- Added support for a Default EDID when a valid EDID cannot be obtained. This
can occur if there is no monitor connected or if the monitor connected does
not have a valid EDID. Added registry D00.Monitor.EdidDefault0 containing the
default EDID data, which was taken from a Dell U2412M panel. To enable this
functionality the driver also sets the existing registry switch
User.ReportConnectionStatus to false.

entering power saving with no local monitor connected.
