The name "PNP monitor" is misleading; monitors have nothing to do with resource allocation. A better term would be "monitor supporting the display data channel (DDC)." The GGI (general graphics interface) developers have discussed adding DDC support, and will add it soon if they haven't already. GGI is still in alpha, but already has an X server, which will eventually become an alternative to XFree86. For more information about GGI, see http://synergy.caltech.edu/~ggi/GGIFAQ.html
