It seems drivers/video/aty/xlinit.c should be used with
CONFIG_FB_ATY_XL_INIT, but currently, it's under no circumstances
compiled...

It's supposed to boot XL cards without using the BIOS.

If nobody complains, I'll remove it.

Thanks.

why not making it work? I have some of these cards here that I never got
working in my Mac or my Powerstack (both PPC).
Or should it be removed to make room for a "general early boot video
initialisation infrastructure", which was discussed here some weeks ago?
