[mythtv-users] Intel Graphics No Signal when TV Turned On Over HDMI

I could previously generate a xorg.conf file for other chipsets like nvida,
but this no longer seems to be the case with Intel.  In it I would tell it
ignore the EDID events and such, and that always seemed to tell the card
not react to anything the TV did. Is there no such way to do this any
longer with Intel graphics?
