- * Makes some sanity checks and fills in the fields of the struct

- * set additional fields, he should just probably init the whole
- * gl_config object himself.
- *
- * \param dbFlag double buffering
- * \param stereoFlag stereo buffer
- * \param depthBits requested bits per depth buffer value. Any value in [0, 32]
- * is acceptable but the actual depth type will be GLushort or GLuint as
- * needed.
- * \param stencilBits requested minimum bits per stencil buffer value
- * \param accumRedBits, accumGreenBits, accumBlueBits, accumAlphaBits number
- * of bits per color component in accum buffer.
- * \param redBits number of bits per color component in frame buffer for RGB(A)
- * mode.  We always use 8 in core Mesa though.
- * \param greenBits same as above.
- * \param blueBits same as above.
- * \param alphaBits same as above.
- * \param numSamples number of samples per pixel.
- *
- * \return pointer to new struct gl_config or NULL if requested parameters
- * can't be met.
- *
- * \return GL_TRUE on success, or GL_FALSE on failure.
