1 Hi all,
2
3     I have a surface4 pro and use a vga adapter on the displayport
4 connection.  This works when manually (Xorg, XFCE4 and xrandr)
5 configured to various external monitors and data projectors.
6
7 I am trying to automate the process but plugging in the display port
8 adapter does not generate any messages via logging or dmesg (kernel is
9 gentoo-sources-4.16.12 patched to work with the ipts touchscreen) to
10 hook a udev rule into. 
11
12 Can anyone suggest a way to detect when the displayport adapter is
13 plugged in?
