The via driver (X server) is supposed to take care of closing down and cleaning up everything it has used when its CloseScreen function is called. I don't know if you're seeing a bug in the X driver or the kernel driver. Server reset is often a poorly tested case, but it is usually straightforward to fix the problems that arise there. >I'm about to ship a product with a work around to the bug in the >Unichrome drivers. >I'm not going to be able to doing any testing until a few weeks time. > >What I really need to know is do you have people that are supporting >UNichrome for >XFree86.

I'm not aware of anyone specifically working on the via driver for XFree86. Why not take it on yourself?
