Support evdi

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently there is only support for creating virtual displays with legacy intel driver.
Describe the solution you'd like
Using evdi kernel module it's possible to create a driver-independent virtual display.
I found it at https://unix.stackexchange.com/a/585078 (for me steps 3 and 4 were not needed, but also I couldn't make more than one virtual display).
The problems with this solution:
- it requires manual kernel module installation.
- If kernel module is loaded while Xorg is running, then Xorg freezes.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- intel driver is obsolete
- having screen resized with
xrandr --fbis not good enough, because you can't for example make a window go "full screen" there. - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Extreme_Multihead#VNC says xorg dummy driver is not good for hot plugging monitors.
Hey Adam, thanks for taking time to write down this suggestion, also for reading the other issue.
Unfortunately I'm not actively maintaining this project. I'm not even working with Linux anymore.
I'll include a warning on the readme.md about it.
I'll also left this comment open, if someday I get back into this or if someone pretend to implement this.
Thank you.
