I have run into this problem as well. After some debug, I find that 
driConfigEqual used by both glXChooseVisual and glXChooseFBConfig have 
some problems. As Ben Gamari pointed out that driConfigEqual don't take 
care about GLX_DONT_CARE.

When called by glXChooseFBConfig, driConfigEqual will return GL_FALSE 
caused by comparing yInverted (it is not being send out by xserver, and 
default set to GLX_DONT_CARE).

When driConfigEqual is called by glXChooseVisual, it will return 
GL_FALSE caused by comparing bindToTextureRgb, bindToTextureRgba, 
bindToMipmapTexture, yInverted and bindToTextureTargets.

The first four are set to the default value GLX_DONT_CARE and 
bindToTextureTargets are set to default value 0 (I don't know why this 
different from other), because they are not being send to client by 
xserver. I think these five attributes should not be compared for 
XVisual, as they are not send to client by __glXDisp_GetVisualConfigs. 
And yInverted is also should not be used as a compare attribute, as it 
never send to client by both __glXDisp_GetVisualConfigs and DoGetFBConfigs.

So may be these attribute need sent to client from both 
__glXDisp_GetVisualConfigs and DoGetFBConfigs or we should just ignore 
them in driConfigEqual. Here is a patch to make glxinfo and glxgears 
work, but I have no idea whether it is correct.
