I read that KMS drivers take care of framebuffers themselves on one site. It seems like I was forced to choose a console framebuffer too in order to make the radeon X driver work. That would explain why unloading radeonfb had no effect. Whatever, I'm not going to try again right away. The solution was passing a boot parameter. Ultimately, I used xrandr to tell me the connector name. So, it was video=VGA-1:width x height... Hooray. Adios, DW
