seems to me that it would be pretty simple to setup X to watch for a new video card and launch dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg on a reboot when there is a new one. Maybe udev could write to a file somewhere with the info on what video was detected, and some rc script could watch for that to change and make appropriate adjustments. A
