It's complaining about a missing "Device" record in the Screen section.
The primary purpose of the Screen section is to join a Monitor section
and a Device section in Holy Matrimony. You've got a bride defined here
(the Monitor record) but no groom (missing Device record). At a minimum,
you need to define the groom. Add a record such as
Device "Configured Video Device"
after the Identifier record and before the Monitor record. There may be
other things you need to do, but let's start there.
