    displayport capable hardware will require some work to bring up, but it is nothing our driver model will not be able to handle beautifully.

    It will just take some time to do this, and we were told that, for such major work, in future, we will get preproduction hardware for this, so that, at the time of release, we can offer immediate support.

    Typically the primary interface edges for video (i.e. VGA and DVI) do not need any assistance from the driver to work. You typically don't see Composite out because it's not usually turned on in the card and the driver turns it on. If DisplayPort's the new spec and there's going to be cards out for it, the odds are rather good that it'll be supported if the card is supported on Linux.
