I don't think so; SDVO isn't on every PCI-E slot, only the x16 graphics
slot. Plus, as far as I've been able to determine, SDVO can't be
hot-plugged.

Several laptops do have DVI support in their docking stations; we've
seen a couple from HP that have the SDVO-DVI chips inside the laptop and
hot-plug the DVI connection to the docking station.

Someday we'll have DVI or HDMI connections on laptops instead of VGA and
be rid of the analog horror.
