You should be able to force the output on with xrandr via your xorg
config file.  Add a monitor section section for your hdmi monitor
called "HDMI-0", the set Option "Enable" "True" and specify the sync
ranges and preferred mode.

e.g., (replace the sync ranges and preferred mode as per your desired config):
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier      "HDMI-0"
    HorizSync   30-81
    VertRefresh 56-76
    Modeline "1280x1024_60.00"  108.88  1280 1360 1496 1712  1024 1025
1028 1060  -HSync +Vsync
    Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024_60.00"
EndSection
