From dmidecode on my Thinkpad x240:
Handle 0x0018, DMI type 8, 9 bytes
Port Connector Information
Internal Reference Designator: Not Available
Internal Connector Type: None
External Reference Designator: Mini DisplayPort
External Connector Type: Other
Port Type: Video Port
I wonder if this could be one avenue to pull this information.
