adapter... converter... something from the sw side we see as the protocol we 
support,
but it do whatever conversion needed to another format at the other end.

I don't understand how the update could solve this. But well... maybe that Paulo
mention to EDID and if the information is there. But with so many different
adapters out there from many different vendors I don't think it is worth trying
to guess an universal way.

"8" happens to be the logical port number. Logical because the port is
internal to a multi-function DP device (it contains both a branch and a
sink). DP spec says logical port numbers start from 8.

Keep in mind that due to adapters, the actual cable connected to a
certain port may change over time, and our Kernel connector names are
fixed.

The most user friendly thing apps can do is to read monitor information
(from EDID) and display that to the user. For example, I see my desktop
environment says I have "Acer Technologies 27"" and "Laptop" (and it
even displays which one is which). I don't even need to care if the
monitor is connected through HDMI or DP: all I have to know is what I
can see (the monitor itself).

By "adaptors", do you mean logical adapters in motherboard firmware that maybe
an update could improve?

Thanks for the reply.

BTW, DP daisy chaining the same motherboard I get the following:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 4480 x 1200, maximum 8192 x 8192

DP-1-1 connected 1920x1200+2560+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

That logic looks backwards to me. DP-1-8 is the screen in the middle of the
cable chain. :-p

I understand your concern, but  as you can see there are adaptors involved
here and they are decided by manufactures. From the driver perspective the
protocol is the most important part, but that gets sometimes really bad for
the users, I know.

Honestly I don't know if there's a way to detect the presence of adapters
like this DP to VGA for instance. I don't think so.

Afaik on HDMI-DP with LSPCON we do some tweak on the names to avoid
showing a misleading information, but that's is the further we can go I'm 
afraid...
