It's more of a DRI/GLX problem than a Mesa problem.

Allen's suggestion of making a variety of FBConfigs that correspond to 
an X visual is probably the simplest.  It would probably require some 
work in the DRI/GLX code and the applications would have to use the 
newer GLX 1.3 functions like glXCreateWindow and glXMakeContextCurrent 
rather than the ubiquitous 1.2 functions.
