yes - if this is unity8 on desktop session, it's using mesa not android. but not sure why x11 would be involved? when running unity8-desktop-session-mir directly on the drivers, not xmir.
also, there was a transition seeding issue discovered on the desktop, where you needed to $ sudo apt-get remove mir-client-platform-mesa3 mir-client-platform-mesa2 mir-client-platform-mesa1 in order to make sure mir picks up the correct platform. might make sure to do that.
