Most xorg devs aren't a big fan of pbuffers but they are part of the GLX 1.3 spec which drivers want to support these days. Some drivers are considering to just fail on pbuffer creation. Encourage them to offer pbuffer support on some visuals/fbconfigs. A lot of windows apps rely on their presence including Wow in opengl32 mode and lots of other (older) programs.
Can we emulate pbuffers via FBOs, or are there some problems? Pbuffer support is troublesome on MacOS and the ATI binary driver as well, so even if the xorg devs implement it we'll be stuck with a partial fix only
