The r300 gallium driver in mesa is built as radeong_dri.so and the DDX is hardcoded to use r300 as the DRI driver name for that generation. this patch allows radeong to be used if specified in an xorg.conf with this option:
Option "Gallium" "True"
This only affects DRI2 since the gallium driver requires it, and has the benefit of being able to coexist with the classic mesa driver.

See http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27328#c1 :
IMHO xorg.conf would be both overkill and insufficient: the r300g binary should just be called what it is, namely r300_dri.so, and then the distro could choose the default via the installation path / symlinks / whatever, and the user could override it per application via $LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH.
