[Mesa-dev] glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS) omits mapbuffer extension

[Roland Scheidegger]

Indeed, but that's not what the OP was claiming (he says it's not in the
extension string but works regardless, hence it probably should be in
the extension string).
As for why it's not there some quick look at extensions.c shows that it
is indeed supported (the functionality is pretty much part of ARB_vbo
after all). The only 2 OES extensions showing up are incidentally the
only 2 which are also available in a GL context. So this looks to be
some multi-API issue but I've no clue about that.
