[ltp] hotplugging VGA monitor to T61

[Pablo Vera]

I've done this with my T61 that comes with an nVidia card.  After 
plugging the monitor, I run "nvidia-settings", select "X Server Display 
Configuration" and press the button "Detect Displays".  After that, I 
enable and configure the external monitor.
