Just the buffers where all your rendering happens - you typically don't
do that directly on the visible framebuffer (though OpenGL allows this, 
it is faked - badly - with the private buffer implementation). Private 
just means that they are not shared for all drawables and not allocated 
by the ddx driver (of course, if you currently use the privbuffers mesa 
branch, the ddx driver will still allocate them, they just aren't going 
to be used).

The glx spec would be the reference what has to happen, it doesn't 
answer the how of course.
You could start with some general dri documentation, 
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/.
