I'm not a huge fan of embedding the name under /dev into the display 
specification.  I could probably be convinced that a 'display/0' scheme makes 
sense and explicitly allow that to have implementation-defined ordering, but 
that's about it.  Remember this isn't really intended to be a user-visible 
string, this is just how the server selects displays from the EGL stack.
