Thanks, I would try that, but...

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

I set "gallium" in /etc/make.conf but (-gallium) means the flag is
turned off
in a profile somewhere?
Oh, you're not on ~arch. I assumed to much. I don't know how that works
on old versions of the drivers and Mesa, or whether Gallium3D was any
good with old versions of Mesa. I can only confirm that it works on
recent versions.
Oops, please disregard. You're on ~arch too it seems. I'm using Mesa
7.9 from the x11 overlay.
I think the Gallium3D driver (r300g) should work just fine (and actually
better than Mesa Classic, r300c) even on Mesa 7.8.2, at least for R300
GPUs (Radeon 9xxx). I've no idea why it's masked; r300g is what
upstream recommends and r300c isn't really worked on and is practically
deprecated.
