Title:
  [Lenovo ThinkPad X220] External DP1 monitor extremely unstable since
  upgrade to 14.04

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Since upgrade to 14.04, using my Dell BIZLINK DisplayPort to DVI Dual
  Link Adapter the external display on DP1 is extremely unstable. I get
  constant "[drm:intel_dp_i2c_aux_ch] *ERROR* too many retries, giving
  up" messages over dmesg. I used to get those with 13.10, but there was
  no stability issue. Once the laptop (Lenovo X220) is connected to the
  monitor (resolution is 2560x1600), if I run any program like xrandr or
  unity-control-center, the system immediately reverts from the external
  display to the laptop display, and often crashes becoming
  unresponsive. Every time I run xrandr or unity-control-center, it
  triggers 20 "[drm:intel_dp_i2c_aux_ch] *ERROR* too many retries,
  giving up" messages in dmesg and if I am using the external monitor it
  further triggers a reproducible crash. It is possible that this might
  be related to the DVI->DP adapter I am using. Due to an unresolved
  bug, the correct EDID for the monitor is not recognized, and I have to
  manually add that after each boot.
