First step is to run:

Code:
dbus-scripts --debug --system
then watch the output of the command when you plug/unplug the cable. If there is an output (I highly suspect there will be) there will be a message on dbus you can 'hook' onto.

The next step would be to then write a dbus triggered script for the dimming.

This is all possible, the parts are available, you just have to assemble them!

So, run the above command...
