[Debian-eeepc-devel] [eeepc-acpi-scripts PATCH] Allow X detection without an existing console/terminal session

[Darren Salt]

I find that either the first method in detect_x_display() for finding a
logged-in user succeeds or the second method also fails. This patch replaces
the second method: rather than extract all logged-in users, look for a
process which is using a console and has certain environment variables which
then are used for OSD purposes. (The OSD will also work if a login manager is
currently in control.)
