I've just about exhausted all possibilities of fixing or working around this in Xorg/Xmir. Even when I remove all the Composite and GLX logic that adds the incorrect xRGB visuals, we still end up with backwards colours rendered by Mesa.

It seems quite difficult to drop the offending xrgb/argb pixel formats from the Mesa source code, and also difficult to top the Xorg codebase from assuming xrgb/argb is always available.

The only way forward I see right now is for us to redesign the Mir Android platform to use ShmBuffer for software buffers. As ShmBuffer easily supports the xrgb/argb pixel formats and then the colours will always be correct for the legacy logic of Xorg and Mesa.
