Use the GLX\_ATI\_pixel\_format\_float extension.

[Example code should be here](http://web.sfc.keio.ac.jp/~syoyo/opengl/floatbuffer/)

I tried some messing around myself and now understand your problem; how to use GLX\_RGBA\_FLOAT\_ATI\_BIT?  
I think it’s a GLX\_RENDER\_TYPE flag like GLX\_RGBA\_BIT .
