I was going to suggest that you plug it into the hotplug_stage_two
function but it looks like you have already done that. Things might be
routed differently now then since the last time I looked at the code,
are you sure that stage_two is being run?

Looks good, can you write to dpms, that is turn a monitor on and of,
that would be slightly cool but not overly useful. On the whole I
think exporting properties are fine, but I don't think setting modes
and crtc's are to be done in sysfs. However it is entirely possible.

Cheers Jakob.
