Well, XRRQueryVersion() returns the server-side version and there is no 
way to find out whether the drivers support it or not. But at least as 
far as the properties go, they don't depend on the driver, it's all done 
(with a small exception that doesn't matter for us) inside the xserver 
and not the drivers.
So if anything crashes or misbehaves while accessing or manipulating 
output properties then it's a bug either in the xserver or the 
client-side libraries.
