I think what's happening is that when the monitor scans inputs, it generates
connect/disconnect signals on the hotplug pin when it switches to/from the
input in use.  This generates an interrupt which in turn sends a hotplug event
to userspace.  The X driver then gets the event and assumes the monitor is
plugged/unplugged and attempts to turn the output on/off.  I'm not entirely
sure how the windows driver handles it.  I suspect what we want to do is look
at the rate at which plug/unplug interrupts are generated and wait to see how
much time has elapsed since the previous event before actually generating an
event for userspace.  If you are interested, the evergreen irq handler is
evergreen_irq_process() in evergreen.c and the hotplug work handler is
radeon_hotplug_work_func() in radeon_irq_kms.c in the kernel.
