+ Polling for connected display devices on older systems
+ without Hot Plug Detect (HPD) support, can be quite
+ expensive. Poll will happen periodically and can in
+ worst cases take several hundred milliseconds,
+ depending on the hardware. This will cause visible
+ stalls, for example in video playback. These stalls
+ might happen even when your video is on HDP output
+ but you have other non HDP outputs in your hw
+ configuration. If you experience stalls in display
+ output occurring every 10 seconds, disabling polling
+ might help. With polling disabled you need to manually
+ use xrandr to trigger detection.
+ Format: <bool> (1/Y/y=enable, 0/N/n=disable)
