Well that depends on if it is possible to initialize the card fully 
without using the graphics BIOS. To my current knowledge the Matrox card 
can do this and it is possible for the 3Dfx family of cards. This I have 
seen in the docs. As for NVIDIA cards they don't release that info and ATI 
is also funny about release such info as well :-(

Ah DDC support. I really wanted to add that into the fbdev layer but 
unfortunely I don't have the time to do that :-( Only if I did fbdev for a 
living.
