Bug Description
forked from 1671799
Onscripter autopkgtests use xvfb to run some scripted tests. Onscripter itself initializes SDL, and this is somewhat unreliable on a qemu instance where the X11 connection can fail, especially if Xvfb is started via xvfb-run. The tests don't need X11, instead it can use the dummy driver which is enough for running the tests.
The actual bug remains, 1.19 is for some reason unreliable for SDL where 1.18 wasn't. This will be reported upstream, as it can be reproduced on Debian as well. Real hw is less likely to hit this, much easier to reproduce with qemu.

---------------
onscripter (20161102-1ubuntu1) zesty; urgency=medium
* tests: Don't use xvfb, instead force the dummy SDL videodriver so
that racy SDL init won't fail the tests on qemu. (LP: #1679209)
