2d (mode setting, 2d, accel, etc.) is covered by the xorg radeon
driver.  the r300 project is developing a 3d driver and drm for
supporting r3/4xx chips.  If you downloaded the 3d driver and drm from
r300 cvs (http://r300.sf.net) and installed them in counjunction with
the xorg radeon driver from xorg cvs, then you using the r300 driver.=20
If you try and load the r300 drm, pcie cards will hang on the
microcode upload since there is no support for pcie-gart yet.  pcie
cards will work fine as far as 2d/modes/etc. is concerned with the
xorg radeon driver.
