Forwarding this bug from Ubuntu reporter Roland Dreier:

[Problem]
Currently, the login screen is set to mirrored (at a lower resolution).  On 
login, the system reconfigures the displays to their native resolutions, but 
the external DP monitor just shows black.

The kernel log shows:
[  382.963872] [drm:intel_dp_complete_link_train] *ERROR* failed to train DP, 
aborting

[Original Description]
I have a Lenovo t410s laptop (Arrandale graphics) that I use with a docking 
station  that is connected to an external monitor via displayport.  I just 
updated from Oneiric to the latest Precise daily, and I've seen big regressions 
using this setup.  I went into the display control panel and set my monitors to 
be non-mirrored and set my DP monitor to its native (2560x1440) resolution.

Now, after a cold reboot, the login screen comes up fine (in its bad
fallback resolution -- this I think is a known lightdm issue, where a
laptop+external monitor ends up with lightdm using some non-native
resolution).  But then when I log in, X tries to change the mode of the
DP monitor to the correct one, and at that point the monitor just goes
black.  If I do alt-f1 I can get back to a text console, but alt-f7 just
goes back to the black screen.

I am able to open my laptop and bring up the LVDS1 output, but I have
not been able to figure out how to light up the DP output.

Oneiric was able to handle this pretty well -- if I booted docked, the
external monitor was used at its native resolution, and if I booted
undocked the internal LVDS was used at its native resolution.  And even
suspend/resume and docking/undocking usually worked.

I see messages like:

[  382.963872] [drm:intel_dp_complete_link_train] *ERROR* failed to
train DP, aborting

in the kernel log, which are presumably related to the failure to light
up the DP monitor.

I added "drm.debug=0xe" to my kernel command line by hand, and got the
following output.

This is not exactly the scenario described above -- I actually booted up at 
home away from my dock, suspended the laptop, came to work, and resumed in the 
dock. I had exactly the same situation that my external monitor wouldn't light 
up though, and I went through my (now-standard) workaround dance of:
 - log into text kernel and do xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto to turn on the 
laptop screen
 - light up the DP monitor at 1024x768
 - switch the DP monitor to 2560x1440 at the same time as I turn off the laptop 
screen

and I now have my X session working at native resolution on my external
monitor.

OK, here's a kernel log of me booting up and then going through the
dance to get my DP monitor lit up at the right resolution.
