At least Option "PanelSize" would still be useful for systems where we
can't determine the panel parameters yet.

Doesn't quite work on a Titanium PowerBook III (without Option
"UseFBDev", with a 1280x854 modeline obtained by radeonfb via EDID which
works fine with that option). There are flickering lines on the right
side.

Also, I think it would be nice if the radeon driver was better
documented, in a manpage and/or programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/Options. I
don't know what the Clone options are for even after a quick look
through the code, how is an end user supposed to know?
