More info from Aaron:

Hi Bryce,

The nv driver doesn't get any notification when the hotkey is pressed.
The VBIOS just changes the display settings out from under it, pretty
much guaranteeing that they'll be messed up.

So it sounds like this is an issue with the hardware's BIOS attempting to
handle the display setting changes, and thus interfering with X's handling.
So to fix it, what will be needed is something to detect that BIOS
operation and generate an apci call for X to handle.
