So I bought a gateway off craigslist for cheap. Its got a hdmi in and pretty generic stuff.

However, HDMI doesnt work without something plugged into the dvi port, it doesnt even need to be a source, can be just a bare cable, as long as its plugged in, hdmi works flawlessly, the moment i unplug the dvi port, i get no video out of hdmi. Seriously, whats up with that, I dont want to just keep a random dvi cable plugged in and hanging around...but i know of no other resolution...

anyone ever even heard about something this weird? :confused:
 
So I just have a bare cable plugged in, its not hooked up to anything on the other end, but it makes the hdmi work. =( I hate random cables...
