Hi,

I don't think Mir itself should be the one responsible for
saving/restoring display configurations. Mir should (and indeed does)
provide a mechanism for shells to react to hardware changes and set the
configuration according to their needs.

Each shell will want to make different decisions about configurations
and also save/restore any information in a shell specific manner. I
don't see a benefit in bringing Mir into the mix.

Thanks,
Alexandros
