Because our usage doesn't require real display, xorg-gtest runs with the
dummy video driver by default. This is accomplished by providing a dummy
xorg.conf file and forking the X.org server with it. However, xorg-gtest
allows for using the existing display (using $DISPLAY), or using a
different xorg.conf file.

Do you think xorg-gtest would be helpful for your testing? We want to
make it useful for a broad range of test scenarios.
