Error 8 is XCB_MATCH / BadMatch.

According to [1], CreateColormap produces a Match error if the visual is
not supported by the screen. That's all that I can say, sorry. I know
basically nothing about GLX. (Well, you could print out the value of
visualID and look it up in the output of /usr/bin/xdpyinfo)

Cheers,
Uli
