It seems my hope is in vain. I will try a more specific question, then. What if I force the variable needRAC (or was it need_RAC) to true? The server would then call xf86EnableAccess(screen_nr) every time they need access to a video card. However, AFAICS there is no way of notifying the RAC subsystem of no longer using the card, or is there? I want to avoid having to change the drivers. Do you think that it would be sufficient to guarantee free access to the video card for, say, 1 second after the return from xf86EnableAccess(), and then allowing the other running X servers to gain access?
