Works on linux mint 14 nadia on my t430.  Or, at least I can get it to work with 
the vga out.  And, by "can get it to work", I mean that I docked the laptop and 
the monitor was immediately detected and able to be used (in addition to all the 
messages that fly by when running the 'udevadm ...' command).

I tried several iterations of using dvi and displayport, but nothing shows up on 
the external monitor.
