The ES 2.0 Emulator does not support pBuffers ? It seems that there is no configuration that support pBuffers !

I too have been having trouble getting pBuffers to work.   Are pBuffers really supported? 

All attribute lists I've created for which included the pair: 
    EGL_SURFACE_TYPE, EGL_PBUFFER_BIT
cased eglChooseConfig() to succeed, but that method returned zero configurations.  (This includes the config from the sample on page 48-49 of the OpenGL ES 2.0 Programming guide.)  If I set egl_surface_type to EGL_WINDOW_BIT, the config succeed, but as I rather expected, eglCreatePbufferSurface later returned EGL_NO_SURFACE.

I'm using a Radeon HD 4800 card, and the 1.4 version of emulator.

Someone at AMD told me that the emulator only supports EGL_WINDOW_BIT.  In other words pBuffers and pixMaps aren't supported.

I have seen no evidence that they plan fixing this in the near future. The word was to use FBOs instead...
