Hey Jacob,
sorry for not spotting this the first time, but I have an additional

Please see below.

I don't feel wsi_x11_connection_create should fail if there's no amd_reply
or
nv_reply. That should just lead to unconditionally warning, in case there's
no
DRI3 support.


Of there is no reply then we either lost our connection to the X server or
ran out of memory.  Either of those seem like a valid excuse to fail.  The
chances of successfully connecting to X to create a swapchain at that point
is pretty close to zero.

With that fixed, this patch is
