This is unfortunately not always the case. For example, one of my
computers is used as an HTPC and its monitor is an early generation
Sony HDTV connected via HDMI. It *does* respond to EDID requests,
but only when powered on and switched to that specific input.
This is my problem too. So basically there's no solution to this with
the Intel driver?

For what I know, the solution is to modify/add/replace hardware.

There have been options to forcefully enable outputs and set resolutions, but they have been revoked in fear of people using them without sufficient knowledge.

I'm using an ASUS Eeebox B202 so I don't have the option of adding a different video card. I'm not quite sure what you mean by modifying hardware but replacing the B202 defeats the purpose of trying to use it in the first place. Are you suggesting I avoid Intel graphics cards for this type of setup?
