Well, things that hotplug can't currently guess (as used in an
X config)
- monitor type
(which lets you get the available resolutions and depth)
- users's preferred resolution
- users's preferred color depth
- pointer type (for non USB, etc.)
I realize I have a biased opinion, but I don't think that walking
the user through a minimal X reconfiguration (as opposed to a
completely automated change) is a bad thing on graphics HW change.
