hardinfo -r from comand line always shows displays in X as 0x0 pixels

[Lyn Perrine]

To reproduce run hardinfo -r in a terminal emulator in X11. Then look for the resolutoin of your X display it will say 0x0 pixels. hardinfo:

Description: Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
Release: 15.10

I expected hardinfo to show the display resolution like it does in a gtk window when run on the command line. Instead it shows 0x0 pixels no matter the display resolutoin. Instead I get 0x0 pixel from a terminal emulator and get the correct resolution in a gtk window.
