Best would be to ask AMD to include ATOMbios tables in vendorcode.
Does it sound unreal?
If we get the tables rest is easier, but I also looked into this some time ago
and just running ATOMbios interpreter is definetly NOT enough to get some legacy
VGA mode. I tried to get in touch with Xorg people and they thought i will need
some "driver" for this.
Also please note that the option ROM is more or less just interpreter of the
bytecode too.
Thanks
