From my experience working on a similar problem with the Cygwin/X DDX, I think the real problem is that the config matching code expects to exactly match bindToTexture and maxPbuffer with a value of -1 (don't care), hence if these are actually set to report our capabilities, no configs remain after the attempt find the common configs.
Your patch to fall back to indirect if we can't find any common configs makes sense, but I don't actually think that should be happening.

It's currently a policy in libGL to use swrast in preference to indirect, unless forced, and swrast is direct (Comment #3)
It would be nice if for Xservers which can only do indirect acceleration, there was a way to cause local clients to automatically use the indirect path, but I'm not sure how that could be done cleanly.
