For starting writting a driver the r300 project may be educative, specialy the first driver where in fact everythings was drawn using software mesa. Then adding features by feature... The dri wiki as some docs worth to read too. For reverse engineering this is quite a pain. There isn't any good docs i know on this topics. Try a deep google search. Moreover if you only got windows driver i fear that you will need to decompil driver code this could leads to legal issues...
