HDMI is working fine from the Mac?  I doubt it's HDCP, then.  VGA, being 
the last bastion of analog signal, doesn't carry the HDCP signal, I 
believe.  If VGA wasn't a problem with the Dell, it shouldn't be with 
the Mac.

Silly question, but can't you just go back to the Dell?  It worked, why 
change anything?
