Those are X11 error messages. How are your running your test? Anything
unusual like a remote connection suppressing display extension such as RANDR
which are usually available at the workstation itself.

In any case, this may have nothing to do with you package per se but as did
not share code or how you ran the tests it is hard to say more.

Best, Dirk
