xrandr will still work.  The radeon driver will pass the request to the kernel
rather than banging the hw itself.

You should get a console on the drm framebuffer device before X starts.  You'll
need to start X to enable dualhead, etc.  However, as was stated before, you
don't have to specify a virtual size since the kernel will dynamically resize
the framebuffer based on the requested output setup.
