HDMI issues (or why dell, why?!)

Just finally got a look at the x51 r2.

 What an odd thing, There is only one "cover" on the back of the machine and its more like something you would use to keep an unused port covered up.. even has a little line across it that sorta looks like "don't use".

Anyway, in testing, basically if you use the HDMI port on the top of the machine, it runs through the on-board Intel 4000 graphics.  Realizing that's not what we want, I pulled the cover with the help of a screw driver and now we're back to using the gfx card.

Which is kinda funny, since now I envision a bunch of people ordering a "high end gaming machine with a fast graphics card" and are  using the HDMI on the top of the board and then getting  Substitute character removed as per TOU> frame-rates in most things.
