Commit 5100d829a4d71ce4a9fbc2b81694a1fb90066ccf causing problems with mythtv

[Mario Limonciello]

Well for those following along and catching this from google and what not,
i've identified a solution to this.  If you are using mesa 7.3, you'll need
to add this commit from mesa git:

+    From 529d1d720e1422bad1880ef33fae1c9423112d2e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+    From: Eric Anholt <eric at anholt.net>
+    Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2009 03:29:11 +0000
+    Subject: swrast: Add support for x8r8g8b8 fbconfig.
+
+    This lets swrast produce an fbconfig suitable for the root visual now that
+    the server's not allowing mismatched fbconfigs.

It's not currently targeted at release 7.4, but I proposed it get added.

Regards
