Following Jedediah's hint I've built deb packages compiled from display-port branch of the driver's source and uploaded them to my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~morgwai/+archive/ppa (note that i386 binary packages are still waiting in the build queue and should be available within few hours). They work ok for me (I can normally use monitor connected via Display-Port) and I hope they will be useful for others as well, but I haven't tested them on anything else than my own machine (ThinkPad X200 with docking station, Jaunty amd64) and I'm really not a device driver expert at all, so please don't ask me questions other than related to packaging (reporting whether it works fine for you is of course welcome as it may be useful to others).
I've compiled the sources from the last commit that didn't required much hacking: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?h=display-port&id=cc50de1a9eada785323f2dcc3a59e8e94284e17e It was the last commit in the display-port before merge with master branch that incorporated commit http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?h=display-port&id=1784efc1f0c74edda8c78fb1b0cdd989f0a088ad which made it impossible to turn DRM_MODE off and caused the compilation to fail on Jaunty. I don't really understand why this fails as the commit's comment says that this flag was only relevant for xserver older than 1.6 and Jaunty uses exactly 1.6. If somebody knows the reason and can prepare the patches that would allow to build the head of display-port branch on Jaunty then I'll be happy to include them and build next version of the driver.
