[Bug 530216] Re: KMS does not allow the user to pre-select a resolution

[Rune Svendsen]

I'll just add what I've learned for now.
The kernel video-parameter seems to work for me if I leave out the output from the line (this is also the experience of at least one other guy I read about on the #radeonhd IRC channel).
So adding the following line to grub's default kernel parameters (GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub), makes my virtual terminals display at the specified resolution:
video=1600x1200 at 85
(the refresh rate ("@85") was optional for me).
Neither the output names listed by xrandr or in /sys/class/drm worked.
