Aha!  Video you say?  Welcome to the new world of Microsoft Vista and HDCP
over DVI-D and HDMI, and soon, DisplayPort by VESA, sporting a new video
signal incompatible with either DVI-D or HDMI (though capable of passing
them through), and now DPCP (DisplayPort Content Protection)!!!  Soon we
won't have to deal with the inferior 56 bit HDCP encryption used by Intel
in HDCP when we have the wonderous new 128-bit AES encryption used in DPCP
by AMD, with modern cryptography ciphers and an independent key revocation
system!  Coming to you on video cards next year from NVIDIA and AMD, and
with a new physical connector, wheee!

With DisplayPort, you won't have to worry about pesky KVMs any more!
