Wonder why you get the extra outputs?  Looks fishy. Doesn't make much
sense to have outputs without connectors (or a hardwired display).  But
it may be just me not understanding how things work...

Noticed this in your log:

(II) intel(0): EDID for output HDMI-1
(II) intel(0): EDID for output DP-1
dp_aux_ch error status 0x5d450085
(II) intel(0): DisplayPort monitor detected on DP-3

but then it continues with:

(II) intel(0): EDID for output DP-3
(II) intel(0): Output VGA connected
(II) intel(0): Output LVDS connected
(II) intel(0): Output HDMI-1 disconnected
(II) intel(0): Output DP-1 disconnected
(II) intel(0): Output DP-3 disconnected


Hmm, might of course be just log noise.  Googled up this commit, which
at least shoes how you can get the "DisplayPort monitor detected"
message and still end up with a "disconnected" state:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg-commit/2009-March/020706.html

Looks like an attempt to work around hot-plug detection problems.
Probably means that the log message is an artifact of the extra DP-x
outputs and nothing else.

Sorry, looks like you need to try another adapter to get any further.
But I'm not going to guarantee that will help...
