First of all, thank you for filing a very good and thorough bug report,
even setting ModeDebug for good logs. I hope we will see more good bug
reports from you (well, I really hope you experience no more bugs, but
failing that...).

I checked a bit around, and it seems that the intel driver does not
support DisplayPort yet (I guess the G45 is their first card with
DisplayPort support(?)). There is some progress in making it work which
is described at this upstream bug report:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19995 . At
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/ you can see
that there is a branch called display-port, and if you're up to
compiling the driver yourself you may test with that one.
