I have read somewhere,
"connect your TV to your computer and type into a terminal the following command:
'xrandr --output TMDS-1 --auto'
you should see your computer screen on your TV after that. You still might have to adjust your resolution (System>Preferences>Display) ....I have to set mine to 1024x768
It that works you can just build a Launcher with those settings to automate"
hope this will help you.
