Using displayWidth here instead of virtualX. Makes xrandr much more
exciting than normal!

I think you can go much further with your cleanup, as using displayWidth
is now almost always a bug and we want to enable/disable frontbuffer
tiling depending upon the allocation size and so need to retry when
changing mode in case the frontbuffer can only be supported with an untiled
allocation.
