"Polling for a VGA device on an old system can be quite expensive,
causing latencies on the order of 600ms. As we hold the mode mutex for
this time and also need the same mutex to move the cursor, we trigger a
user-visible stall."

Old system?

"The real solution would involve improving the granulatity of the
locking and so perhaps performing some of the probing not under the lock
or some other updates can be done under different locks. Also reducing the
cost of probing for a non-existent monitor would be worthwhile. However,
exposing a parameter to disable polling is a simple workaround in the
meantime."

Why not default at least?

"This is coupled to the user calling xrandr"(not automatically when
polling is disapled) "since the information on the connection has just
been updated."(from the newly connected screen)
