Enable VGA Bios on Mac Mini to use x.org native i810 driver instead of framebuffer

Hello,
has anyone tried to enable the legacy VGA BIOS? I compiled x.org CVS
HEAD to use the native i850 driver, which already exists and supports
the graphic card. However it relies on using the VGA Bios to retrieve
modes etc. The WinXPonMac people made it possible to make the VGA Bios
visable.
