Having similar problems here, but without adding nomodeset/nofb options to the kernel command line I can't even boot this machine into current rawhide. With nomodeset alone, I get to a command line but there's an oops when it tries to load the radeon driver. > I'm wondering if it is possible to have 'fake' monitor > borders/dimensions.
