Please don't use the same separator for the connector type and the
enumeration.
DVI-A-1 looks awkward to me.

Since _ is alphanumeric :-P and DVI-A is rather uncommon, it would be
reasonable to use DVI_A(-1) - given that most of the time the -1 would
be skipped anyway. Another alternative would be DVIA(-1).

I'd like to use dashes for numbering, that's what all other drivers use,
and it also looks most "separatingly".

If people don't like the '_' I'd suggest to use ':' instead. Like: DVI-A:1

For me this groups A:1 together, something we certainly don't want to
indicate. But it's possible.
