[Solved]Dell11z (Intel) HDMI not working

Hi everyone , i bought a led monitor for my notebook, and im trying to configure the HDMI output, without succes. Actually, i searched the forum and some wikis but didnt find anything usefull, for me, since im not really into arch yet and need some newbie guidelines for this issue... So heres some info:

lspci | grep VGA :

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)

Im using the i915 module, im not sure but i think ive got the 915 chipset with GMA 900 graphics.

Im using awesome desktop (dont know if this is usefull info)

I connect the external monitor but it only shows "no signal"...

Any help? (didnt do anything so far, since didnt find nothing to help me, or didnt understand it)

Thanks

PD: im posting this here, since i consider im newbie...
