Agreed -- using the X connection to get the information should let this
work on split systems. Within the Vulkan code, I already have to move
objects from the render node to the display node. Hrm. That exposes a
weakness in the kms_display extension I've proposed; that only allows
you to pass a single fd. Passing separate display and render fds through
that interface seems like a pretty useful change.
