Bug Description

This was spotted by systemd's tests (which involve lightdm) starting to fail. Cirrus cards (as provided by QEMU) still worked fine until at least 2015-03-11 (https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/vivid-adt-systemd/119/), but started to fail now.

Start a current i386 vivid image in QEMU with -vga cirrus (which is the default with trusty's QEMU, which is how we noticed), install lightdm, then X.org will fail with

Fatal server error:
[ 117.236] (EE) failed to create screen resources(EE)

The apport collected info is from that VM, it should have all the logs.
