[PATCH ati] Add Gallium (radeong) support via an xorg.conf option, disabled by default.

Mon Jun 14 17:19:41 PDT 2010


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.
