[PLUG] Detecting an external monitor

I'd like to set up my X61 tablet to run an xrandr command whenever a
new monitor is plugged in or unplugged (to enable / disable dualhead),
but I've been unable to figure out where I can detect an event to
trigger this code.

Does anyone know how this can be done, or if not, do you have any
suggested keywords / topics I should be looking into?

I haven't seen any indication that there is an ACPI event fired, and I
haven't found any bleeps in /var/log/...

Thanks!
Rogan
