intel without connected monitor

[Stephen Williams]

I had a similar problem with my Mac Mini which fails to detect the
connected LCD TV if booted whilst the TV is in standby.

I forced detection of the TV with the following one line code change
to i830_sdvo.c in the i830_sdvo_detect routine:

diff --git a/src/i830_sdvo.c b/src/i830_sdvo.c
index d9b76d4..371f2c6 100644
--- a/src/i830_sdvo.c
+++ b/src/i830_sdvo.c
@@ -1454,6 +1454,8 @@ i830_sdvo_detect(xf86OutputPtr output)
     if (status != SDVO_CMD_STATUS_SUCCESS)
        return XF86OutputStatusUnknown;

+   return XF86OutputStatusConnected;
+
     if (response[0] != 0 || response[1] != 0)
        return XF86OutputStatusConnected;
     else


I don't know whether the same change will work for you as you're not
using the same hardware but the issues sound similar enough to be
worth a shot.
