 As I understand it, this combination isn't supposed to work.  There
 are a whole host of packages that exist solely to implement X11_TYPE=modular
 of which xrandr is one (in general, if a program or library of the same
 name exists under /usr/X11R7 then the pksrc version should only be used
 with X11_TYPE=modular).
 
 There really needs to be some way that these packages could all be marked
 so that people would stop attempting to build them using X11_TYPE=native
 which really makes no sense at all (libraries, include files, ... are all
 incorrect for this stuff there).
