+The virtual screen switching protocol enabled by
+.Dq WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_USL
+uses a somewhat complex handshake protocol to pass control to user programs
+as X servers controlling a virtual screen. To avoid a non-responsive
+application to lock the whole console system a screen switch will be rolled
+back if the user application does not respond to a screen switch request
+within some time. This option allows to set this timeout (in seconds),
+the default value is 5 seconds.
