Bug Description
There are two issues in this bug. Firstly the xorg output parsing fails, and secondly, when that fails the gui is left hanging and the user is unable to recover.
There are other possible causes of xorg data parsing to fail, we should fix the gui being left stuck in all cases, perhaps with partial data gathering, or something similar.
TEST CASE:run hwdb-gui or hwdb-kde and step to the video page, it should give an error on the console. The updated package won't.
