hi, 
it works good for me with: 

- bios set to discrete graphic
- linux mint 8.0 universal - activated ati proprietary driver
- t500 (2082-7RG) and lenovo 24" lcd display with display port connected -
notebook 1680x1050, lcd with 1900x1200, direct dp <-> dp cable, not dp <->
hdmi

there is an issue with virtual resolution (some windows shift on notebook,
but i dont understand what exactly is it and why ... but works ...)
