I'm sure one of the actual gallium developers can give you more
detail/correct me, but: src/gallium/drivers is where you want to start
looking.  You'll note there's an `r300' directory, which is how your
card is supported, of course.

The reference driver is in the `softpipe' subdirectory.  You can
also compare with "classic" Mesa, referred to as swrast, by building
--with-driver=xlib.

Search the archives, as well.  LunarG posted a bunch of videos from a
recent hrm... 'gallium conference', I'd guess you'd call it?  They're
probably enlightening for the current state of gallium.  I'd suggest
doing this before reading code, it's probably better higher-level
documentation.

HTH,
