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.
