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.
