Note that the card and DVI connector may also have support for analogue
(i.e., standard VGA, as opposed to digital) video. This would be
transferred over the four pins on either side of the long, flat pin on
the connector. If so, you can use a simple adapter to get a regular VGA
pinout, or just the appropriate cable.

Some devices, such as my video projector, even take VGA input over a DVI
connector.
