Display hotplug
Thinkpads have hardware support for polling the displays connected to video outputs and reconfiguring the video outputs accordingly. Software support for this in Linux depends on the following:
- X.org Server package version 1.3 or above, containing the new Xrandr 1.2 output hotplug capable framework
- Xrandr 1.2 client utility
- Hotplug support in the X.org video driver for your GPU chip
