Public bug reported:
driconf doesn't work on Ubuntu 18.04. The reason is that xdriinfo fails
with "Screen 0: not direct rendering capable." There appears to be a fix
for this upstream:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xdriinfo/commit/?id=6273d9dacbf165331c21bcda5a8945c8931d87b8
Building my own xdriinfo from the upstream source code fixed the problem
for me. Please consider updating xdriinfo for Ubuntu 18.04 to unbreak
driconf.
