Hi Christian,

Thank you for the feedback.

FDO ? I am not familiar with this. Please can you enlighten me.

I do not have a BIOS image so will need some assistance in understanding 
what is required here and how I extract the BIOS information you are after.

On this motherboard, DP-1 is a single channel 18bit LVDS LCD panel 
interface and DP-2 is a DVI interface (which I can connect to my monitor 
if testing this is useful). There are no displayport connectors.

On industrial motherboards, I have noticed that it is not uncommon to 
hard code the information for the LCD panel into the BIOS so no DDC is 
required. In this case, there is no LCD panel connected to the interface 
anyway.

See http://www.commell.com.tw/product/SBC/LV-683.HTM for more 
information on the board. Looking at the web site, there is a BIOS image 
available form Commell if that is of use.
