I have been pulling my hair out trying to get HDMI output working with a ASUS M2A-VM HDMI using the ATI drivers. HDMI works while linux is booting until the X login screen appears. After that I cannot even get HDMI output on a text console. ](*,)
Running "aticonfig --query-monitor" shows that tmds2 is connected, but after I run "aticonfig --enable-monitor tmds2" I get nothing on the HDMI output. Everything works perfectly when I use the VGA or DVI outputs. I can't use DVI because I need audio over HDMI. I am using latest ASUS BIOS (1705), and the latest proprietary ATI drivers (8.4).
Strangely, if I boot into Ubuntu using the install CD I get output on the HDMI port. Is it just that the ATI drivers suck, or am I doing something wrong? Please show me your working configuration!
