I know an adapter would work, but the IOB6120 has an FPGA squirting
out video. I'm wondering if it's feasible to drop new firmware on the
FPGA to emit something acceptable as DVI vs what it does now
(monochrome VGA). I lack enough knowledge of the DVI standard to
understand what would be needed to formulate the right bit streams
(VGA and NTSC I understand quite well enough to hack on).

I know very
little about HDMI/DVI video but I'm wondering how hard it
would be to make an IOB6120 squirt out something DVI-esque (it
normally does VGA out while emulating a terminal for the SBC6120).
There is the question of handshake and all that, so you do need a chip
to handle that for you. You could also buy an adapter:
