I've using the DisplayPort successfully on my Lenovo X301 (Intel integrated graphics) with Jaunty (stock release). I'm using it via the Lenovo (i.e. Foxconn) DisplayPort-to-DVI cable though. Am I really using DisplayPort then? I had thought the cable does an active signal conversion so it is DisplayPort signally. I guess I am surprised it works if the Intel driver doesn't support DisplayPort.

Anyway, with the converter the DisplayPort works great with Jaunty. It mostly worked with Intrepid too, but I used to get this phantom third monitor in the resolution control panel. Jaunty has cleaned that up too.
