Only 4 multisamples on IR?

I'm confused as to why I can't get more than 4 multisamples on an IR.

I'm trying to get an OpenGL GLX visual that has RGB and A, double buffer,
z-buffer, and as many multi-samples as I can get. I can use ircombine to
set up the framebuffer to a 800x600 VOF and gfxinfo tells me I have extra
large pixels, but findvis only shows visuals with alpha planes that have 4
multisamples (8 with no alpha planes). All the VOF's I'm running also have
Sirius video configured.

Any ideas? Seems like I should be able to get at least 8, maybe 16.

Here's the code where I configure the window:

    window = new pfPipeWindow(pipe);

    if (larchConfig.exists("windowConfig")) {
        windowConfig = larchConfig.fetch("windowConfig");
    }

    int msample = 0; // Does this machine support multisampling
    int samples_ix = 0;
    pfQuerySys(PFQSYS_MAX_MS_SAMPLES, & msample);

    Array<int> list;
    list.add(GLX_RGBA);
    list.add(GLX_DOUBLEBUFFER);
    if (msample) // If supported, use multisamples
      {
        list.add(GLX_SAMPLE_BUFFERS_SGIS);
        list.add(1);
        list.add(GLX_SAMPLES_SGIS);
        samples_ix = list.size();
        list.add(16);
      }
    list.add(GLX_RED_SIZE);
    list.add(1);
    list.add(GLX_GREEN_SIZE);
    list.add(1);
    list.add(GLX_BLUE_SIZE);
    list.add(1);
    list.add(GLX_ALPHA_SIZE);
    list.add(1);
    list.add(GLX_DEPTH_SIZE);
    list.add(1);
    list.add(None);

    if (msample) // Find the visual with the most multi-samples
      {
        Display * display = XOpenDisplay("");
        XVisualInfo * info;
        while ((info = glXChooseVisual(display, 0, list)) == 0)
          {
            if (list[samples_ix] == 0)
              break;
            list[samples_ix] /= 2;
          }
        if (info)
          XFree(info);
      }

    window->setFBConfigAttrs(list);
