This is the opposite but the same trick should work:

So in your case, perhaps:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI1"
Option "Disable" "yes"
EndSection
Or whatever your DVI port is called (xrandr will tell you)
Yep, that fixed it (DVI-0). Would be nice if there were some on-board
connector where I could att the DVI port and use that instead, but don't
see any likely candidates.
I *had* been using a Matrox PCI video card, because I thought the
on-board video was only 16MB (a re-purposed server, figured they didn't
bother adding fancy graphics). Seems the BIOS screen was lying to me:
when Mint14 decided it didn't want to work with the MGA G400, I had to
switch back to the internal video, at which point I saw that "lspci -vv"
told me the on-board had 128M. SO my poor resolution on the on-board
was just due to a ghost DVI all along.
