What I see is that HDMI-1 is the DVI port, HDMI-3 is the HDMI port, so I
assume HDMI-2 is that "other" video port.
If I set video=HDMI-A-1:d nothing comes out the DVI port and if I set
HDMI-A-3:d nothing comes out the HDMI port. This is rather confusing. Is it
correct?

These messages get spewed even if X is not running. The machine is
unresponsive for 2-3 seconds when this happens.
Sure, specifying the EDID as firmware is a work around, but it's a work
around that isn't working as intended on this hardware, for whatever
reason. Seems like someone would be interested in fixing it? I've got a
machine I could provide some access to?
