Yeah, the idea is that the X server tries to open /dev/grfN device for
each of N = 0, 1, 2, ... until it gets "device not configured" error
(forgot the error code).  So, if you have two heads (such as internal
plus NuBus, for example), the X server wants /dev/grf2 around as well
as /dev/grf0 and /dev/grf1.

Allen made this change to his server source before it was passed to me
and Scott.  Now, my server source is quite different from Scott's...
