The gallium / r300 driver is the correct one - it's what you want to be using for hardware acceleration. Can you get a checksum of that library while it's broken, and the sum of the same file when working, and compare the two? I have to admit I'm somewhat mystified - if you're not changing it, this certainly shouldn't be changing on its own. Can you reproduce the change?	Erayd (23)

If the TV is detected (doesn't matter if it's plugged in or not) then 3D\Gallium is enabled and works. If it doesn't detect the TV then 3D also falls back to software mode. Also it seems TV detection (or not) only works properly on a cold boot, not a restart etc. On the up-side, the TV-out actually works in this version of Ubuntu (previous versions detected the TV but wouldn't display anything on it) Will get those checksums next time it's not working...
