Read the source and ask questions.  The easiest way to start is to
identify a bug or feature that your are interested in, then start
playing around with the source.

ddx source (modesetting, 2D, Video):
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/tree/src
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/

mesa source (3D drivers: radeon, r200, r300):
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/tree/src/mesa/drivers/dri

drm source (command, interrrupt handling, modesetting):
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tree;f=drivers/gpu/drm/radeon;h=4a8610eac8113858125e67af8819385ad9146e1f;hb=HEAD
