Yeah, radeonfb doesn't support multiple outputs yet.

You can't scale it down, you'll have to set the virtual resolution to
1024x768, e.g. using xrandr. Of course, this requires setting up an
appropriate MetaMode in xorg.conf as well.
Not sure why you can't get the external display up at 1280x1024, the
EDID seems to confirm it supports that. Could be the screwy MergedFB
code.

Don't enable backing store, it's slow and broken.
