[PATCH 1/2] Modify X interfaces to better enable Xorg resets.

[Jeremy White <jwhite@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

However, it still crashes, most likely due to the xorg_timer
in the watch structure.  Those timers become invalid at Xorg
server reset (it clears all timers), but we go on to continue
to use them.

As fixing this fully will likely require some messy rework,
simply documenting -noreset seems like the best choice for now.
