It doesn't need a driver.  It is a plug.

You just need the driver for the video card, and of course a monitor
that supports the port.

My monitor at work has a displayport input (among many others).  It is a
Dell, which is probably no surprise given almost noone else uses it.
Dell and Apple seems to be the major pushers of displayport so far.
