FWIW, static xrandr configuration is not driver specific for the open
source drivers. It should work the same regardless of what driver you
are using. You'll want to take a look at the xorg.conf man page.
You'll probably want to play with the following options:
Option "Primary" "bool"
This optional entry specifies that the monitor should be
treated as the primary monitor. (RandR
1.2-supporting drivers only)
Option "PreferredMode" "name"
This optional entry specifies a mode to be marked
as the preferred initial mode of the monitor.
(RandR 1.2-supporting drivers only)
