Thanks Fredrik! Based on that, I'm closing this as RESOLVED/NOTOURBUG.

@Rune: Feel free to double check by running glxinfo, but I believe the ordering is correct: multisample configs are always sorted later, as required.

Using glXChooseFBConfig() does seem like a good idea...could guard against future problems (though I don't know what), and should simplify the code a fair bit. Also, KWin's EGL backend uses eglChooseConfig() and it never had this problem. That would also make the GLX and EGL backends more similar.

Thanks again.
