It's usually required to run this command before xrandr picks up on a VGA port connection, because usually (at least, on Intel) we don't get an interrupt when a monitor is plugged in. Which brings me to a question: do we get one on nVidia? Could nouveau be able to kick off xrandr as soon as a monitor's connected? (I don't know how well Xrandr actually works on nouveau, I'm afraid.) - Chris. -- Chris Ball
