At least I haven't found a way to do the switch without an X restart but I guess I might have missed something (can RandR help with this simple case)? Of course, if the general hotplug case is taken care of, reconfiguration of a graphics card on the fly will probably basically be solved automatically as part of that so that's definitely the real solution; however, some work and testing might be possible even without somewhat exotic hardware. /Per -- Per Bjornsson <perbj@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Applied Physics, Stanford University
