No, that wasn't the problem. OpenGL handles the visual automatically.
I don't think most implementations allocate a private colormap. In
particular, I don't think Mesa does unless you specify it specifically.
The problem was related to something else which eludes me at the moment.
If I think of it, I will post my workaround.
