[BUG] 2.9.2, index out of bounds, LinuxDisplay#getAvailableDisplayModes

[NateS]

Hi guys,

I have a Linux user that gets this crash:

Caused by: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 0
at org.lwjgl.opengl.LinuxDisplay.getAvailableDisplayModes(SourceFile:954)
at org.lwjgl.opengl.LinuxDisplay.init(SourceFile:738)
at org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.(SourceFile:138)

This is in 2.9.2, so here's the line:
https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl/blob/lwjgl2.9.2/src/java/org/lwjgl/opengl/LinuxDisplay.java#L954
It would appear XRandR.getScreenNames() returns a zero length array. getScreenNames javadocs say, "the name of connected screens, or an empty array if xrandr is not supported". Why would XRandR not be supported? Should the return value of getScreenNames be checked and a better exception thrown?

The info I have from the user is he's on Linux amd64 3.17.0-pf2 and using a discrete video Nvidia video card in a laptop with no external monitors attached.

what happens if the user runs xrandr from the command line? The below is my output which matches what LWJGL picks up

$ xrandr

I directed the user to do that and he reported he didn't have it installed, he installed it and everything works now. Sweet, thank you! Cheers!

So for this issue, I'd be great to check if the array is empty and throw an meaningful exception so it's clear xrandr needs to be installed.
