Thanks for the link. I now see this is pretty messed up (but necessary) stuff we have =). The situation on our embedded devices is often a bit simpler: no system compositors, one VT, (hopefully soon) no fbdev, and we have a clear reset state. Reading the text makes me think the state should be somehow explicitly passed from one compositor to the other, which would keep that state active on the kernel side, but if that's even sanely possible, I have no idea... I guess I'll have to deal with this in the userspace for now, and I'll add a helper to kms++ library which will disable and reset everything it can. Tomi
