What is wrong with "detect"? It detects if there's a display connected.
It can be used in polling manner, trying it every n seconds, but it
should also be used even if you use HPD event. I think the normal
sequence would be something like:

1) register HPD event
2) use detect() to see if a monitor is already connected
