I guess this is yet another incarnation of us not properly setting up hdmi
infoframes. Can you please test with a 3.5-rc kernel, that one contains a
fix for sdvo hdmi support. Specifically

commit 81014b9d0b55fb0b48f26cd2a943359750d532db
Author: Daniel Vetter <daniel.vetter@ffwll.ch>
Date:   Sat May 12 20:22:00 2012 +0200

    drm/i915: fixup infoframe support for sdvo

If that doesn't help, please also attach the output of xrandr --verbose.

Yours, Daniel
