I have no idea why VENC is not working for you when using
connector_status_unknown, but I just tested DPI with
connector_status_unknown (i.e. changed the above func to return unknown
for DPI), and it works fine with X and X omap driver. And xrandr
confirms that the connection status is unknown:

# xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 2048 x 2048
HDMI-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
None-1 unknown connection 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x
axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
   1920x1200     60.00*+  60.00 +

Grep also shows that there are many drivers using
connector_status_unknown, so I'm guessing it should work fine...
