This connects the kernel uevent indicating monitor hotplugging to the RandR notification events so that X applications can be notified automatically when monitors are connected or disconnected.

The obvious question: why are we doing this in the driver? It looks very generic and can be shared between any of the drm drivers, so should this be a facility provided by the server? It would be a good start to a KMS module... -Chris
