From ATI's documentation on pbuffers, but still about glx and X11
[...] To use pbuffers, you need a custom version of "libGL.so.1.2" installed - including our GLX 1.3 emulation code. Our driver installation tool will automatically do that for you.
Ahh, I think you're confused here. I am _not_ using the binary drivers provided by ATI. I _am_ using the stock drivers shipped with X11 and provided by the DRI project. Therefore, what you just quoted doesn't apply to my situation. Also, even if pbuffers are something hardware related, glXChooseFBConfig seems to be nothing more than a nicer interface to XGetVisualInfo and glXGetConfig than glXChooseVisual is.
and glxinfo on my pc shows client glx 1.3 and server glx 1.2, which seems to fit ATI's documentation.
It reports client glx 1.2 and server glx 1.2 for me.
