Looks like Multibuffer was obsoleted/replaced by DBE:
The Multi-Buffering extension described here was a draft standard of the
X Consortium prior to Release 6.1. It has been superseded by the Double
Buffer Extension (DBE). DBE is an X Consortium Standard as of Release 6.1.
Solaris carries around a lot of old extensions in the name of preserving
backwards compatibility.
