F7t4 - intel driver doesn't seem to hot-swap displays

[Per Bothner]

I thought the big feature of the new "intel" driver was its
ability to hot-swap displays.  It doesn't seem to work for me, though I 
realize this is beta code, and perhaps it isn't expected to work yet.
(If it is expected to work, I can file  bugzilla report and provide
more details.)

I have a Dell Inspiron R1405 with a 945GM chipsset and a 1440x900
screen.  If I boot with my external monitor (ViewSonic, 1600x1200)
plugged in, then the external monitor is recognized, and 1600x1200
is used.  The laptop  mirrors the external monitor.  It would be nice
to be able to show separate screens (with nvidia calls "twinview"),
but I haven't figured out how to do that, and it's not that important
to me.

What would be nice is being able to plug in an external monitor *after*
X has started, and have it be recognized, and used at full 1600x1200
resolution.  When if I unplug the external monitor, I should be back
to the laptop, at 1440x900 resolution.

As I said, if this expected to work, I'll collect more data and
submit a bugzilla entry
