The problem could also be the incorrect selection of a MirPixelFormat.

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Desktop Next fails to start. I just get a black screen and mouse pointer. So unity-system-compositor is working fine. Only the nested unity8 can't run:
  unity8.log: std::exception::what: Failed to create shared EGL context

  I've also verified mir_proving_server with mir_demo_client_* runs fine
  in another VT.
