xrandr isn't the right package for this. The xrandr utility is not a daemon process, and so doesn't handle any hotplug events.
On gnome, monitor hotplug is handled by gnome-settings-daemon, so possibly this is a bug (or missing feature) in the corresponding kubuntu tools, but I don't know offhand what that is so I'll leave this filed against xorg for now. ** Package changed: xrandr (Ubuntu) => xorg (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/427846 Title: Thinkpad T400s laptop dock events not enabling/disabling external display To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/427846/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
