    I thought I would post this as I have went mxm a few days ago from my good ol m1730, I played around with dells proprietary connection for a while trying to get ext graphics, so will post this in case anyone wanted to know or has wondered.

    To start with, a standard desktop PCI Slot

    0 - 56 is an altered DMS-59 which is basically DVI and VGA output, not LVDS
    LVDS is on the card itself so no chance of outputting ext on screen period
    57 - 156 is the mechanical key
    157 - 206 are power/sense

    old info but still fun to look at

    gonna have fun with my mali now :D
