I'm working on my 80 year old mother's machine remotely and cannot see
the screen. I have a few question about this new Open Source Radeon
driver.
1) I'm seeing both radeon and radeonfb in memory. Is this OK, or does
it imply a problem of some sort? Can xorg-server use radeon while the
console is possibly using radeonfb or is the system misconfigured?

2) From a distance I'm wondering what these last few lines of
Xorg.0.log are telling me about the state the screen is likely in?
This machine has both a VGA connector (in use) and an S-Video
connector. (not in use) Is the 'Setting screen physical size to 320 x
240' an indication that if she was to look at the screen right now
it's not running in the normal 1024x768 sort of mode? How can I tell
at a distance what the screen resolution might be?

I do see this implying (to me) that maybe it's in a 1024 type mode:
