I don't think that the appearing of windows causes this.
dispwin does something that makes the graphics card to
suspend/reset/whatever the HDMI output shortly. Ordinary
applications don't do this, however, lxrandr (the Lubuntu display
configuration tool) exhibits the same behaviour.
In other words: There is some action X, and this X is performed by
dispcal, dispwin, lxrandr, etc but not by all other applications
like firefox or xterm. This action X accesses the graphics card,
directly or indirecty. Maybe X it is accessing the VideoLUTs. But
I'm really no expert at this.
Tschö,
Torsten.
