Sorry Timo, I don't think I understand what you want to say. This patch 
was not intended to fix hang/crash, it simple fixes modeset failure for 
the use cases like I mentioned in description of patch.

The second "[PATCH xserver] randr: Adjust master's last set time with 
slaves" fixes XRandr's client confusion about lastConfigTimes and 
lastSetTime, I seen client was repeatedly sending modeset request 
because each time it gets lastSetTime < lastConfigTime.

Both the patches only impacting prime configurations.

Thanks,
