Now, if you try to open a CRTC (one of the latter steps of setting a video mode) on a X11/Wayland session, it will correctly say "permission denied". From a linux terminal, it will let you open one. No special permissions needed.
So yeah, now I try to initialise KMS even if I expect to use a compositor, just to find out which GPU I should use. So "running without X11/Wayland" is a feature my programs have that can't be turned off anymore. 😅

There is one fun feature still biting me. Fullscreen on X11 with DRI <= 1.2. It seems to sorta work... but it locks on the xshm fence, and if I don't use the fence, it thinks it's working, but the screen doesn't get updated. I'll figure it out eventually.
