Description
Mesa has enabled "allow_rgb10_configs" by default. Note that 10bpc affects both
GLX and EGL. The requirement from EGL is that 10bpc formats must be first in
the list of configs. This breaks applications that just use the first config,
which used to be 8bpc and now it's 10bpc. Here's related bug report and some
discussions from Mesa list:

In va/glx/va_glx_impl.c: `static int create_tfp_surface(VADriverContextP ctx, VASurfaceGLXP pSurfaceGLX)`
```
glx_pixmap = pOpenGLVTable->glx_create_pixmap(
ctx->native_dpy,
fbconfig[0],
pixmap,
pixmap_attrs
```
Chossing the first fbconfig[0] breaks applications wanting 8bit config on mesa 18X or newer, or when `allow_rgb10_configs=true` is set.
You should iterate over FBConfig and select 8 bit color size !
