At the low-level, there are some glitches. See if you can access the PCI
ROM on your card at all. In the case of the X1900 in my Quad G5, the
entire PCI ROM shows up as empty, so all of the AtomBIOS initialization
code fails in both the xf86-video-ati and xf86-video-radeonhd drivers.

I last tested about 2 weeks ago, I'm not sure if any progress has been
made in on either set of drivers since then. radeonhd used to have a
function specifically for reading the ROM from the non-primary card,
that probably needs a bit more TLC (and help from ATI), but should then
manage to extract the ROM.
