I have to do the same thing when installing to get usable graphics, but on my Mac Mini, after the installation, I don't have to retype the "video=radeonfb..." on every reboot.
I only have the video configuration that I enter, though: I don't have an option to change from 1024x768 to 800x600 or 640x480, for example. If I'm watching a DVD through MPlayer, being able to change the resolution would help me get a true full screen video. Right now, I get a 640x480 image surrounded by black space when I go fullscreen, instead of an image that fills the whole screen.
