HDMI->DVI no output on monitor

Hi! 

I'm having trouble with hdmi display and armbian focal on rock64.

All works with simple office hdmi displays but fails with an open frame display connected using hdmi->dvi cable.

Even the boot messages do not display and the display goes into power saving mode.

Here are some of the outputs:

rock64@rock64:~$ cat /sys/class/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-1/status
connected
rock64@rock64:~$ cat /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status
connected

rock64@rock64:~$  dmesg | grep hdmi
