I assume this is due to HDCP and our lack of DRM, which. Is this even possible to support in open-source, or in closed source, without paying $kk for HDMI "intellectual property"? If this assumption is true, we might want to document it with a ticket, even if we can't fix it. DVI is still unencumbered, IIRC.
No, on both HDMI and DVI HDCP is optional. Of course if you want to play back encrypted Blu-Ray content on compliant playback software than it is not optional, but your problems with HDMI for a regular desktop are definitely not caused by HDCP. It should just work and in fact there are simple adapters for DVI->HDMI that you can use to convert the cable.
