Thecus N3200PRO/N3800 on-board VGA output pinout

Using the on-board VGA output

The AMD Geode has an on-chip VGA controller that is connected to an IDC-10 connector on the motherboard, to the left of the CPU. It is relatively easy to build a custom cable to connect this port to a regular DB-15 VGA port. The IDC-10 connector pins are labelled on the board, with pin 2 being and bottom left pin, and pin 10 the topleft one (see image below). The following pinout seems to work enough for BIOS access and simple graphic modes.

5: RED
6: SYNC GROUND
7: GREEN
8: VSYNC
9: BLUE
10: HSYNC
