That doesn't sound like the desired behaviour to me. Note that KMS expects a 
single process to control mode setting. You can get around that by dropping 
master privileges in the first process after setting the CRTC mode, but you 
can't get master privileges back once you've dropped them (short of dropping 
master in the second process and then closing/reopening the device in the 
first process of course).
