[Pkg-fglrx-devel] disabling hot plug events

I have a triple monitor (one is TV) setup on radeon HD 5800 and using the fglrx driver on debian Squeeze.

Monitor #1 is connected directly through DisplayPort 

Monitor #2 is connected directly throught DVI.
Monitor #3 (TV) is connected to receiver that is connected to video card through HDMI 


Both HDMI and DisplayPort support hot plug notification where it notifies the OS that the monitor is turned off.

The problem is that I only use 2 monitors or just the TV. However, when I 
turn on the receiver to listen to music, fglrx receives a hot plug event (cause it's connected to the receiver through HDMI).

This cause fglrx to swap the desktops. The desktop displayed on monitor #2 will be displayed on the TV etc.

It's even worse if I turn off monitor 
#1. Now all 3 desktops display on monitor #2. All my panels, icons, and 
configuration will moved to the wrong monitor and will not be moved back when monitor is turned on.

I wrote a script to fix these issues. Now when a hot plug event occurs, I manually run the 
script and it restores the original desktop configuration.

Is there a way to disable hot plug events? If there isn't, is there at least a way to have the script run automatically?
