start openvr without starting vrcompositor

[Infraviored]

self.vr = openvr.init(openvr.VRApplication_Background) brings up steamvr and vrcompositor.

vrcompositor always crashes on my system, causing a freeze for some seconds. Still, tracking still works as long as steamvr stays open.

I thought VRApplication_Background would disallow startup of further programs. I start steamvr (and vrcompositor) berfore, wait for vrcompositor to crash.

Then i want to start openvr.init(), without starting the annoying compositor as well. How?

MANY THANKS in advance!
