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
