[glx] fbconfig[0] is not 8 bits RGB with Mesa 18.x or newer

[ghost]

Mesa has enabled "allow_rgb10_configs" by default. Note that 10bpc affects both GLX and EGL. The requirement from EGL is that 10bpc formats must be first in the list of configs. This breaks applications that just use the first config, which used to be 8bpc and now it's 10bpc. Here's related bug report and some discussions from Mesa list: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109548 https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/mesa-dev/2019-February/214610.html

In va/glx/va_glx_impl.c: static int create_tfp_surface(VADriverContextP ctx, VASurfaceGLXP pSurfaceGLX)

    glx_pixmap = pOpenGLVTable->glx_create_pixmap(
                     ctx->native_dpy,
                     fbconfig[0],
                     pixmap,
                     pixmap_attrs

Chossing the first fbconfig[0] breaks applications wanting 8bit config on mesa 18X or newer, or when allow_rgb10_configs=true is set. You should iterate over FBConfig and select 8 bit color size !

Acutally, juste specifying the alpha size seems to be enough.

I think this issue could be closed...

The PR was closed without being merged and I just ran into it so I don't think it can be closed.

Thanks, for confirming the issue is still here.

Do you have a simple reproducer (with sample) ?
