http://r300.sourceforge.net/R300.php

You need the CVS version of Mesa, as well as a patched X.org 6.8.2 (or
X.org CVS), and the r300 driver from the URL above, which also contains
a README with detailed instructions.

In the current state, it may be hard for non-experienced users, but
there seems to be progress towards merging the r300 driver into the DRM
and Mesa CVS, which may be included in X.org some day, so this should
work out of the box.
