What if you switch to VT1 and then plug in the monitor? Possibly it
will hang when you switch back to X. If that is the case, what if you
do `sleep 30; xrandr -q` and then switch to VT1 and plug in the
monitor and wait until the sleep times out? It may be a long shot, but
it is possible that the kernel will print some panic messages on VT1.

Otherwise, I saw that Jeremy Foshee just wrote a wiki page with how to
setup Netconsole. You may be able to capture some panic information by
using that.
