That seems to be the sensible thing to do to these properties.

I'm really to happy see wlroots doing this. This has been in my mind to
do in Weston for years, but never had the chance to implement it yet. I
have just one little detail different: I would snapshot the "original"
KMS state at Weston start-up only once, and then use that snapshot as
the base every time Weston needs to sanitize the KMS state, like when
re-gaining DRM master. It's a bit more complicated, but it goes better
with the idea of resetting KMS state or starting from clean state, in
case KMS ever gains UAPI for that.


Thanks,
