That's all correct. The central issue is that the driver is not notified when the hot-keys are pressed. In fact, these keys don't even generate a scancode. Eventually, atimisc will provide its own key combinations to switch outputs under driver control. In the meantime, the laptop's outputs should be set up as needed before starting the X server.
What is atimisc? Will this be (or is this) a server extension? In what development stage is it?
If my assumption is correct and this is a server extension providing support for tasks like the one we talk about, I'd be deeply interested in
1) either generalizing it so that eg. the SiS driver can make use of it as well, or
2) copying some code :)
Folks have been bugging me for a possibily to switch the output device at run-time ever since...
