HDMI out on Asus 1215N (Optimus/Ion2) not detected

I'm having trouble with my netbook. Ubuntu works fine otherwise except it won't recognize my HDMI port. I've tried Ironhide and Bumblebee project, and these do enable hardware acceleration, but not the HDMI output. If I search the net all the answers deal with audio over HDMI, but I'd be happy to get even video at 1080p.

As a sidenote, the VGA output works but it's not acceptable since my home TV doesn't support HD resolutions over VGA. This is why it must be HDMI.

Ideas, suggestions, logs/configs you need?

It is because the HDMI output is connected to the NVIDIA card, and Bumblebee can't handle those type of connection (because of virtualgl if I'm right), which is why you can't either use Flash into a browser with the nvidia, because the npviewer.bin plugin is not launched with optirun.

I'm having the same problem with the HDMI (I also have an Asus 1215N), it is the only reason why I keep using Windows instead of Ubuntu (or another distribution).

You just have to wait for a solution, and I don't think Bumblebee/Ironhide is one for this problem..

PS : If I remember right, some people report that a earlier version of Bumblebee made it work when booting Ubuntu, showing the Ubuntu SplasScreen and then dissapear with when entering into the Login part.

Sorry for that :S

Just one question, nothing to do with you question, Is Ubuntu fast for you? and if Yes, which version of Ubuntu and wath Desktop (gnome3, unity-3d, unity-2d..).
