HDMI disconnected and monitor not recognized [SOLVED]

Hallo guys,
I run a desktop with an ASUS motherboard and an ATI video card.
I have two monitors, the first is connected by DVI and is properly workling, the second accepts DVI or VGA, then I used a VGA-HDMI adapter to plug it into the HDMI port of my graphic card.
But the monitor is not recogized and is in stand-by, waiting for a signal.
I connected the same monitor+vga+hdmi connector to my VAIO laptop (also Arch running) and it works.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks.

Try another adapter, booting up with the monitor turned on or simply fake a monitor connection on the vga side and see if it is recognized, similar to this (at your own risk obviously).

HDMI port was not working.
Solution: I changed graphic card.
