Bug description:

  Description:	Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
  Release:	15.10

  I expected hardinfo to show the display resolution like it does in a
  gtk window when run on the command line. Instead it shows 0x0 pixels
  no matter the display resolutoin. Instead I get 0x0 pixel from a
  terminal emulator and get the correct resolution in a gtk window.
