I'm wondering whether it's actually a DisplayPort at all. It could be some sort of intelligent multi standard connector whose configuration is determined by the cable you plug in. If you plug a VGA dongle in, it tells the port to output VGA signals. If it's the DVI dongle then the port outputs DVI signals and so on.

I'd have thought the dual link one probably has more brains in it to work at higher speeds or something?
