The reason is that xdriinfo fails with "Screen 0: not direct rendering capable." There appears to be a fix for this upstream: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xdriinfo/commit/?id=6273d9dacbf165331c21bcda5a8945c8931d87b8 Building my own xdriinfo from the upstream source code fixed the problem for me. Please consider updating xdriinfo for Ubuntu 18.04 to unbreak driconf.
