Thats exactly what I did on my MBP however the screen flicker remains..
I'm pretty sure the BIOS is valid (dmesg identifies it as ATOM BIOS: Apple)
and strings revealed data like "Whistler Pro" which IIRC is the type code used
by
the Radeon HD 6xxx series.
Since Jérémy has a working setup with GPU acceleration I can only suspect a
problem in the microcode. iMac12,2 has a Radeon HD 6970M which utilizes the
CAYMAN microcode while my Radeon HD6750M is using TURKS.
So I'm stuck with working but non-accelerated radeondrmfb.
