By the way, the manual is not correct as to the name of the graphics
device type:


  From section 17.9.1: X Graphics Type in the current manual on gnu.org:

     A graphics device for X windows is created by passing the symbol
        x as the graphics device type name to make-graphics-device:

     (make-graphics-device 'x #!optional display geometry suppress-map?)


But the symbol with name "x" is not an accepted name, as seen below.
I suggest that both "x" and "x11" be acceptable, as well as the upper
case versions: "X" and "X11".
