This isn't an error, it's just what you expect on a non-x86 system.
Graphics cards having a built-in BIOS is mostly a PC thing and the BIOS code
on these cards is x86, so these cannot be run on PowerPC machines anyway.
The purpose of these BIOS ROMs is to provide VESA video modes but these aren't
used when using a native Linux driver. There used to be an x86 emulator in XFree86
that would allow executing these ROMs on non-x86 machines. But that is long in
the past.
So, please just ignore this error message. It's completely harmless and unrelated.
