use it when running withour root privileges which prevents us from
scanning the PCI bus.
This makes startx(1)/xinit(1) work again on modern systems with inteldrm(4),
radeondrm(4) and amdgpu(4). In some cases this will result in using a
different driver than with xenodm(4) which may expose issues (e.g. when
we prefer the intel Xorg driver) or loss of acceleration (e.g. older
cards supported by radeondrm(4)).

The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
