Looking at this again, the follwing:

Not working -
[    30.428] (II) intel(0): EDID for output VGA1
[    30.428] (II) intel(0): Manufacturer: SAM  Model: 211  Serial#: 0
[    30.428] (II) intel(0): Year: 2005  Week: 49
[    30.428] (II) intel(0): EDID Version: 1.3
[    30.428] (II) intel(0): Analog Display Input,  Input Voltage Level:
0.700/0.700 V

suggests it thinks it's connected to an Analog Display!!  I don't think
it can see the HDMI connected TV!
