 First of all, thanks for taking care of this PR!
 I think it can be closed.  See below.

 No.  Actually it was just an attempt to get 3D hardware
 acceleration to work correctly, which I had problems with.
 So I decided to give the libGL port a try.  However, that
 conflicted with xorg-libraries and led to the reported
 problem.
 
 If the "WITH_MODULAR" switch is currently experimental and
 not expected to work correctly out of the box, then I
 suggest it should be marked as experimental, so people
 don't spend hours trying to get it to work.  :-)
 
 Other than that, I think this PR can be closed.  In the
 meanwhile, Xorg 6.9 has been released, and 3D acceleration
 now works fine for me with the updated i915 DRI/DRM stuff.
 Therefore I have no need to play with libGL and WITH_MODULAR
 anymore.
 
 Best regards
    Oliver
