Don't use udev for this. Use hotplug for things like this. You can add
your dri specific scripts to /etc/hotplug.d/dri/
See the documentation in the /sbin/hotplug script on how to do this.

That was easy, now it's calling my reset program. How do I tell if it is an
insert or remove event? My program gets called on both.
Does this work for built-in drivers? Will I get an insert event as soon as
userspace is running?

Look at the ACTION environment variable.

yes.

no, the event happens when your device is registered. There is
userspace running very early, look at the initramfs stuff. So you will
probably have to put your application into the initramfs image. People
are working on getting that all working properly.
Hope this helps,

Whenever they happen to get initialized in the startup sequence. This
is usually determined by the link order in the module_init() timeframe.
