I'm not sure about the video cable... maybe an ADC cable, where there's power, but a standard VGA/DVI? Never had a problem. Perhaps you're thinking of the auto-detect that occurs when it wakes from sleep? It's certainly convenient, but it's not any different than plugging it in and hitting Detect Displays in the Displays System Pref or menu item. I've never heard of any *problems* from it.
