Calling rrGetScrPriv when RandR isn't initialized causes an assertion
failure that aborts the server:
Xorg: ../include/privates.h:121: dixGetPrivateAddr: Assertion `key->initialized' failed.
Thread 1 "Xorg" received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.

This can happen, for example, if the server is configured with Xinerama
and there is more than one X screen:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "crash"
Screen 0 "modesetting"
Screen 1 "dummy" RightOf "modesetting"
Option "Xinerama"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "modesetting"
Driver "modesetting"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "modesetting"
Device "modesetting"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "dummy"
Driver "dummy"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "dummy"
Device "dummy"
EndSection
The problem does not reproduce if there is only one X screen because of
this code in xf86RandR12Init:
#ifdef PANORAMIX
/* XXX disable RandR when using Xinerama */
if (!noPanoramiXExtension) {
if (xf86NumScreens == 1)
noPanoramiXExtension = TRUE;
else
return TRUE;
}
#endif
Fix the problem by checking dixPrivateKeyRegistered(rrPrivKey) before
calling rrGetScrPriv. This is similar to what the xf86-video-amdgpu
driver does:

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.
