Checked it with HDMI on a newer TV, but there it does not work eighter. I have 'picture' from the boot console, but at the end, when it should go to the X desktop, the videomode changes and the TV does not recognize it anymore.
The Xorg.0.log is not helpfull, both TV's and the monitor (which works) report the same default Modeline.

armada(0): Output LVDS1 connected
armada(0): Output HDMI1 using initial mode 1920x1080
armada(0): Output LVDS1 using initial mode 1920x1080
However, there is a difference. With both TV's I see this line
armada(0): HDMI max TMDS frequency 225000KHz
I do not know what effect it has.
I tried disabeling starting X, but something in systemd 'repairs' it at boot
Note: this is from dmesg, not Xorg.log
[ 6.794847] systemd-default-display-manager-generator[120]: /etc/X11/default-display-manager points at lightdm while the default systemd unit is . Reconfiguring lightdm as default.
I could remove this file too, but that does not solve the main issue.
at the end of dmesg I also see this a few times
vgaarb: this pci device is not a vga device
Not sure if that is just a warning or something else (but I see red text)
