This has nothing to do with ACPI, as it is only related to your
graphic system.
This is a limitation in X.org. But keithp is on the way to make
monitor hotplug possible with the new randr.

Never used.

Within the free radeon driver you add the following to force X setting
up a the second crt:

Option          "CRT2HSync"     "30.0-83.0"
Option          "CRT2VRefresh"  "56.0-75.0"

But you need to adjust this to your monitor settings. So this is not a
working solution for an unknown monitor or beamer, but a solution for
well known monitor.
