The link you refer to is for using a nvidia graphics card, which of
course uses the nvidia driver. Since monitor detection is something
that happens in the graphics card driver, the fact that the nvidia
driver supports DisplayPort does not automatically mean that the intel
driver does.
The link suggests that there may be some problems with getting the
EDID information for this particular monitor. But if the driver can't
handle DisplayPort, it won't work for any monitor.
