I own an HLP, and it works fine with the NVidia DVI-I I'm using in -D
mode. Two things:
(a) It wouldn't surprise me if the Samsung doesn't do DVI-A. Never
quite understood the point of DVI-A; perhaps someone can enlighten me.
(b) A DVI-A-only output port is really, really dumb and wouldn't make a
whole lot of sense; I really doubt the SIS works this way. I suspect
the port and the monitor negotiate on a mutually-supported protocol
(either -D or -A). The SISCTRL program may simply be indicating the
mode it's in currently. There may be a way to force it into a
particular mode.
Cheers,
Kyle
