Proposed fix, apply with git am

This patch makes the X server deal with missing outputs more gracefully instead of segfaulting (and making ABRT sad).

(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

Comment 2 Ben Skeggs 2010-05-10 00:09:55 UTC

Thanks for that, I'll test the patch here today and post it upstream.  I'll batch this up in an update soon, there's another patch I'm waiting on testing from too.

the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
