[geeks] Not-quite DVI video?

I've got an HP machine which has a video card marked with the HP logo
and "A4977A Vis EG-PCI". I'd like to use it - but the video connector
is odd. It loooks like DVI at first blush, but it's not; the shell is
longer than a DVI connector. It looks as though someone took a DVI
connector and enlarged the 3x8 grid of pins to 3x10.
Anyone know what this is, and, in particular, what it would take to
connect it to a non-HP-specific monitor (DVI, VGA, even HDMI or DP if
need be)?
I tried replacing the card with a PCI video card from my stock of video
cards, but I don't get any video out of it, leading me to suspect the
ROM code is refusing to work with third-party video.
