Hum, I though all ast devices have a BMC, and I don't see a way to 
detect that BMC is active or present. (It would be even better to know 
the browser's size, and automatically resize, like when using a VM. But 
I'm not sure the hardware/firmware is able to do this).

On the other hand, are there any drawback to present a BMC connector 
even when the hardware doesn't have it ?
