LWJGL seems to be unable to handle connected but disabled outputs

[Gymnasiast]

I did a search on the bug tracker first, but could only find closed issues. Minecraft 1.8.9 seems to use LJWGJL 2.9.4 nightly, so I think this is a separate problem.

My situation is as follows: I play on a laptop with an external screen connected, and I have my internal screen disabled. The output of xrandr -q is as follows:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1200, maximum 16384 x 16384

   640x480       60.00  
   720x400       70.08  
DisplayPort-1-0 disconnected

This seems to trip up LWJGL, as it causes a NullPointerException:

I did a test where I hacked XRandR's output to show LVDS-1-0 is disconnected. When I do this, LWJGL works correctly. So it seems to be unable to handle LVDS-1-0 being connected but not enabled.

Environment: Ubuntu 15.10 AMD64 / 16.04 AMD64, Java 7, 8 and 9. x11-xserver-utils at version 7.7+5ubuntu1.

This has been fixed with 1dbca8b6236768793cf3c52702625ece7c3c3992 However, Minecraft seems to use an older nightly version from February 2015. There is newer build which does contain this fix. Maybe @grum can help?

I know this is a little old but if you are using MCP 1.8.9 or any other Minecraft version that uses legacy lwjgl, you can like cause it to launch on wayland/other resolutions by just downloading the xrandr package and then attempting to launch.

I still get an error but it launches :P
