    Display Sense Register, Index 12: This register contains the sensed
    levels of the monitor sense 1 and 0 signals at pins 13 and 14 of the
    display connector [HDD15]. This information is used by BIOS to properly initialize all video registers to match the display.

    Figure 1-41 Monitor Sense Bits

    MS1 MS0 Type of Display Attached
    0 0 Reserved
    0 1 Analog Monochrome Display
    1 0 Analog Color Display
    1 1 No Display Attached

    0 = Shunt
    1 = Open

    So, if my years of advanced hedonism haven't totally destroyed too many
    brain cells, we leave MS1 open and tie MS0 to GND.
