At this point, I will likely have to disable DVI coming out of VT1632A TMDS transmitter chip for now since it is mostly broken.
The code was donated in January 2015, but I only was able to set up an environment to test it recently.
You can weigh in at over here.

For those with a DVI-I connector, the use of DVI to VGA adapter will be the only realistic way for the display for now.
This bug was repaired with the recent commits I have made.
DVI-D connector will likely not work since VGA does not come out of it.
This version of the code with DVI mostly disabled will likely be called OpenChrome Version 0.3.4.
    For OpenChrome Version 0.4.0, various "legacy" display mode setting features will be thrown out.
The fix for DVI is planned for OpenChrome Version 0.4.1 or 0.4.2 since many people use DVI, hence, it is important to get it working reliably.
This, of course, includes VT1632A.

Kevin Brace
