My new-to-me Thinkpad/Lenovo T420s laptop has VGA, and a Display Port.
I got an $8 DP to HDMI adapter from amazon a few weeks ago, but it doesn't
seem to drive anything [my home TV, a monitor, the TV in my AirBNB) -- or
show up as connected in xrandr.  Could there be different DP cables?
I dunno.  If someone has a similar laptop, and a working adapter, I'd love
to know what you have.
