Daniel is putting a patch together, his card only supported glx 1.2 and glXChooseFBConfig required 1.3. There was some old code that works with 1.2 that he's using.
No, all cards "supports" glx 1.3. GLX is implemented on X server and is independant from graphic card capabilities (GLX 1.3 is only a API evolution form 1.2). Graphic cards driver shouldn't influe this APIs. He must find what happened (and maybe open a bug report on X)
Actually, I think Raphael is right. glXChooseFBConfig shouldn't be hardware related (it's nothing that needs acceleration like e.g. matrix transforms). However, as glxinfo shows, my system just doesn't implement GLX 1.3, only version 1.2. So, while it is strange that glXChooseFBConfig exists at all on my system it is not required to work. Thus, no bug in X11 (I think).
