Dear Viktor,

Are you sure that the code is not used?

sequoia:

#define CONFIG_BIOSEMU                  /* x86 bios emulator for vga bios */
#define CONFIG_ATI_RADEON_FB            /* use radeon framebuffer driver */
...

P1022DS:

#define CONFIG_BIOSEMU
...
#define CONFIG_ATI_RADEON_FB

These boards enable the BIOS emulator to initialize the BIOS on ATI
Radeon graphics cards; CONFIG_ATI_RADEON_FB causes that ati_radeon_fb
("drivers/video/ati_radeon_fb.c") gets included; this code calls
(among other things) BootVideoCardBIOS() ...

If you disable all the graphics code, yes.

Best regards,
