Analog CRT Display Signal Descriptions
DVOBC Interrupt: This pin is used to signal an interrupt, typically used to indicate a hot plug or unplug of a digital display. ADDID[7:0]: These pins are used to communicate to the Video BIOS when an external device is interfaced to the DVO port.
Note: Bit[7] needs to be strapped low when an on-board DVO device is present.
The other pins should be left as NC.
DVODETECT: This strapping signal indicates to the GMCH whether a DVO device is present or not. When a DVO device is connected, then DVODETECT = 0.
