     Sounds good--not allowing multiple opens makes sense.  With this
restriction, I agree, reactivating compat mode in open() is a good idea.

     To fully-reset the driver to compatibility mode you probably want a
few more lines:

                bktr->pixfmt_compat = TRUE;
                bktr->format = METEOR_GEO_RGB16;
                bktr->pixfmt = oformat_meteor_to_bt( bktr->format );

just so that the pixmap format is reset to a meteor-compatible format.
