I use this same monitor, and have run it with an X200 in the past.

Can you capture a dmesg output with the kernel parameter drm.debug=0xe
set? That will let us see the DP link training adventure and see what's
broken. If you can, separate traces of working and non-working tries
would be nice.

And, of course, trying 3.3-rc1 would be helpful as that's what any
test patches would be developed on top of.
