Ugh. I noticed that AMD has new drivers that might actually support my old FirePro card, so I'll give those a try and see if I can reproduce the Pbuffer issue (I also have a Mobile Radeon that might reproduce it.) I struggle to believe that any modern GPU would truly lack Pbuffer support. Back in the day, the fglrx drivers did some funky things, though, like supporting Pbuffers but not exporting the glXCreatePbuffer() function from libGL, so you had to use glXGetProcAddress() to load the symbol for that function before you could call it. At this point, given that VirtualGL has existed for 15 years and is at the heart of a bunch of commercial remote desktop solutions for Linux, I don't think it's too much to ask that both nVidia and AMD test VGL against their Linux drivers and report any issues to me.
