OpenGL pixel buffers (pbuffers), OpenGL double-buffering, and the DBE
extension are all unrelated to each other.

Support for pixel buffers is indicated by the presence of
GLX_SGIX_pbuffer in the extension list. Whether a GLX visual is
double-buffered is indicated by the "db" column in the glxinfo output.
