Input Devices

[Waldo Bastian]

So how does monitor hotplug look like, when done right? Assuming that coldplug 
already works, is it a matter of renegotiating the modesetting? What kind of 
implications does that have for the screen handling? The screen size could 
change as a result, does that mean the screen needs to be regenerated as 
well? 

Cheers,
Waldo
