Maybe it belongs in radeon_dri.c, then? Coincidence of current location,
should not be a reason for avoiding logical naming and grouping.
If you like, I'll submit patches for doing the move AND rename.

Consistency is a Good Thing.

It is nice and easy to do "grep RADEONDRI tags" to get a list of all
DRI-related functions for radeon.

[The fact that you can get more complicated with "grep RADEON | grep DRI"
  should not excuse the lack of consistency in naming]


So RADEONPreInitDRI() doesnt actually do any rendering; So what.
It is still "DRI related".
