HDMI problems

Here's the case. Trying to get a monitor (Dell 1905fp) to work using HDMI.
Got one VGA and one HDMI on my laptop (HP Pavilion DV6-3134eo). When i connect the VGA it's working, but not when i connect a monitor to the HDMI (using HDMI-DVI cable). And i'm using ati-catalyst.

Here are some outputs, with the monitor connected to the HDMI, ofc.

lspci | grep ATI

Re: HDMI problems

This isn't really a fix, but have you try plugging in the hdmi cord and then turning on the computer?
