As Havoc said, this is basically off-topic for this list, since
GtkGLArea isn't really part of this lists charter, which is about the
development of GTK+ and GLib themselves.

But a 30 bit display? Really? I've heard of > 8bpp grayscale displays

I think most of GTK+ will work fine, except that GdkRGB will be
dog-slow. For good performance, you really would need to add
specialized conversion functions for your format.

Maybe we have to consider adding 16-bit-per-primary modes to GdkRGB as
well... ;-)

Good luck tracking down your problem,
