[linux]r300 support

[GNUtoo]

is there a plan to support the r300 drivers(the free software drivers dor cards until x850)
because i get that:
even if i disable the shadow my screen is grey...
i have a r300 driver with a x700(the ati free software driver)
glest tells me:
$glest
Try R300_SPAN_DISABLE_LOCKING env var if this hangs.
*********************************WARN_ONCE*********************************
File r300_vertexprog.c function t_dst_index line 184
Unknown output 3
***************************************************************************
Couldn't process event: OpenGL extension not supported: GL_ARB_shadow, required for Shadow Mapping

even if i disable shadows my screen stay grey,,,


i don't like proprietary drivers...so is there an option to support the free software drivers in the future...is there something to do other than switching drivers...

The problem seems to be the r300 driver having issues with 3d textures.. As far as I can tell, they're not strictly needed (is it just one water texture?), and it seems to be the "throw runtime_error" in Texture3DGl::init in texture_gl.cpp that results in a gray screen..

Somewhat hacky workaround is simply to comment out the "throw runtime_error" (shared_lib/sources/graphics/gl/texture_gl.cpp:282)
