Unknown there means that driver doesn't know this specific CODEC ID. In 
most cases it is not a problem. In this case any way I don't have ane 
feedback yet about DisplayPort support and especially NVidia one.

Most interesting here as I understand are analog outputs. driver 
detected two different and it would bi nice if you tested all 
combinations of devices and outputs and reported what exactly is not 
working.

It would be useful if you posted somewhere full _verbose_ dmesg.
