How to install xf86-video-ati-git ?

Hi to all
I installed the "xf86-video-ati-git" aur package but there isn't this file 

/usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri/r300_dri.so

and without this file the driver don't work with glxgears.
So I join the xf86-video-ati pkgbuild with the xf86-video-ati-git pkgbuild and now work but is this the best way ?
I own a radeon 9600(rv350) and with the catalyst driver xorg crash too often .

Re: How to install xf86-video-ati-git ?

Looks OK to me, although ideally you would have a conflicts= directive as well. Without it, just pacman -R xf86-video-ati and pacman -U /path/to/xf86-video-ati-git-blaah.pkg.tar.gz.
