Prior to this commit the Xorg.wrap code to detect if root rights are necessary checked for DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETRESOURCES succeeding *and* reporting more then 0 output connectors. DRM_IOCTL_MODE_GETRESOURCES succeeding alone is enough to differentiate between old drm only cards (which need ums and thus root) and kms capable cards. Some hybrid gfx laptops have 0 output connectors on one of their 2 GPUs, resulting in Xorg needlessly running as root. This commits removes the res.count_connectors > 0 check, fixing this.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows,
which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program
can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server
(or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager,
which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons
and draggable titlebars and borders.
