Hard to say, depends on when the work gets done. The universal fix would be to get int10 and vga stuff working with libpciaccess, which on Linux at least, requires a kernel vga arbiter. Not sure about other OSs. radeon specific fixes would be to fix the non-int10 post code in the radeon driver or switch to the kms/mm enabled radeon drm and fix up any multi-card issues that may be lurking there.
