Thanks for reminding me of that, and thank you, Ben and Thomas for your
feedback in general. You've convinced me that this is the best of the
three approaches I listed. However, on second though, I think it would
be even better if EnableDisableFBAccess() itself took care of it
implicitly rather than xf86RandRSetMode() explicitly. That should also
remove the need for kludges such as the fix for bug #4951, e.g.

Do you guys agree? If so, any preferences for the level at which
EnableDisableFBAccess() should do this?


Have a nice weekend,
