I'm not sure if this is the same thing you are referring to, but I have a G4
Mac Mini which has a Radeon 9200 chip. The autodetection does not find a BIOS
ROM (is that what you meant?) but it works nonetheless, both with FB and
X.org. From reading the sources, it seems that this is even normal, in
particular for embedded graphic chips as typically found in laptops.
