Well, we printed a backtrace and returned -EINVAL.  So it looked a bit
scary due to the backtrace which is usually printed for more serious
problems.  But we also returned a proper error code.

Userspace was not happy.  It was wayland (gnome-shell) which ran into it
it, and it didn't came up with a working display.
