           Summary: Ability to choose between classic and gallium dri driver
           Product: xorg
           Version: git
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Driver/Radeon
        AssignedTo: xorg-driver-ati at lists.x.org
        ReportedBy: fabio.ped at libero.it
         QAContact: xorg-team at lists.x.org


Now that the r300 gallium driver is becoming usable it would be nice to have
the ability to choose between the classic and the gallium driver adding an
option to the xorg.conf file. This way distributions can provide both drivers
with a defined default and let users change to the other if they prefer, rather
than having to rename radeong to r300.

Ideally in mesa the r300 driver could be compiled as r300c_dri.so and the
gallium driver as r300g_dri.so, and r300_dri.so could be a symlink pointing to
the default one (this way the default could be changed inside mesa).

In -ati the default should be r300 (mesa default), leaving the user to force to
r300c or r300g.
