Not sure if someone else stated this above but, whenever you've such problem then -
- power off the system completely (main switch, or disconnect power cord for 20-30 seconds)
- disconnect all video cables but the one you wanna use/test (in your case disconnect VGA cable from motherboard/system, only connect DP)
- power up monitor at the same time as the system or before (maybe this is even more important if you use some adapter in between so better test with monitor powered up before. But adapters are a bad choice anyway. Bad luck if you're really need one :-( )
- power up system and recheck what resolutions Panorama can see and handle (testlog generic)
Reason - today's BIOSes scans monitors on all interfaces at boot up and selects some interface/resolution it thinks is working and necessary. Sometimes BIOS switches off DP completely when it finds a monitor on another connector, sometimes it honors the selection in BIOS settings (or not). YMMV.
