Perhaps the 32bits visual is not supported by OpenGL.

I don't know how EGL interact with visuals, I'm more used to GLX.
AFAIK not all visuals are compatibles with OpenGL, especially if you
want to use ARGB with composite (+manager). 
In previous tests, only binary NVidia drivers were able to render
correctly in a translucent ARGB window (i have to do tests with newer
X.org KMS drivers ati, nouveau and intel drivers).

Attached is a patch against an old glxgears which search for a visual
matching : Composite ARGB + OpenGL ARGB32.

BTW, could you add the output of glxinfo ?

Regards.
