Description of problem: Xorg-server dropping master crash


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.14.4 


How reproducible: xorg.conf with section serverlayout to support multi Display/Head configuration


Steps to Reproduce:
1. move xorg.conf to /etc/X11 using serverlayout for two gpu and three monitors
2.
3.

Actual results: no display and Xorg.0.log contains message: Error dropping master: -22(Invalid argument)


Expected results: multiDisplay using multi-gpu and multi-monitors


Additional info: Start X without xorg.conf containing only serverlayout section X selects first gpu conf file found in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.  Meaning, /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d contains:
ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
total 12
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root  232 Nov  7 04:16 00-keyboard.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1770 Nov 27 12:51 20-intel.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 1909 Dec  5 06:02 30-nouveau.conf

Scenarios with changes to entries /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
Scenario #1: empty (removed 20-intel and 30-nouveau) = nodisplay
Scenario #2: add 20-intel and 30-nouveau = display:0 contains screen with one monitor from 20-intel
Scenario #3: only 30-nouveau = display:0 contains 30-nouveau screen with two monitors in 30-nouveau
Scenario #4: 20-intel and 30-nouveau + xorg.conf in /etc/X11 = crash and nodisplay

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 09:55:34 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 13:24:29 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
