Ngggh.

xrandr --auto would get you most of the way there, except, if you're
vt-switched away from X, then it can't actually do the hardware probe
again, because it doesn't own the hardware.  You could do something like
(chvt 7; sleep 5; xrandr --auto) &, along with all the requisite
DISPLAY= and XAUTHORITY= and maybe that would help?
