XMir hangs in xf86OpenConsole() WAS: Re: Fwd: [Bug 1256116] Re: Documentation instructs to install the package unity-system-compositor, but this is not sufficient for having Mir

Hi!

Well, the exact same problem happens when I install ubuntu-desktop-mir
to run Unity 7 on top of XMir.

Anyway, after further debugging it appears to be the unity greeter that
errors,
this closes down XMir and starts a new non-XMir X session that hangs in
xf86OpenConsole()

DEBUG: unity-greeter.vala:474: Starting unity-greeter 14.04.7 UID=112 L
ANG=en_US.UTF-8
[+0.00s] DEBUG: unity-greeter.vala:477: Setting cursor

[+0.04s] DEBUG: unity-greeter.vala:57: Creating background surface
[+0.05s] ERROR: The program 'unity-greeter' received an X Window System
error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 147 error_code 2 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
