Cool, I'll send you a private mail with my address.

Hmm, that monitor will require mst support:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DisplayPort#Multiple_displays_on_single_DisplayPort_connector

Which is currently not implemented in the nouveau driver. There
are plans to support this eventually, but that is still at least
half a year away. For now my advice would be to use either Intel
integrated graphics on a mobo with a dp connector, or maybe an
ati add-in card. Note I do not know what the status of mst support
on ati is, you should double check that before buying a card.

Or try your luck with the nvidia binary driver.
