Here with a Dell XPS Laptop M1330 and a Nvidia GeForce 9400M GS, it works fine
with nvidia-drivers just plug it, and all its ok :)

Thank you.  I'm planning on getting a laptop with the Intel GMA
4500MHD.  I thought HDMI had some type of "copy protection" built in
in some way, so I was thinking it might not work with Linux.

Works fine here on a HP laptop with Nvidia Geforce Go 7600 using
Nvidia's binary drivers.

You're probably thinking of HDCP which is copy-protection that
requires both ends (video card and monitor/TV) support HDCP (=paid
Intel for a license). HDMI is one of several connection formats that
supports HDCP.

Here on a Sony Laptop with ATI/AMD Radeon gfx it works perfectly with
both OSS drivers as well as the commercial drivers. They do also
distinguish between the HDMI and the VGA output. Can be set nice and
easy with xrandr and the OSS drivers or with the closed source driver
with the ATI catalyst control center.
