That is the legacy fb option "video". I was talking about the drmfb "video"
variant, but I cannot find the documentation. The only doc I know of is:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/linux-2.6/tree/drivers/gpu/drm/drm_fb_helper.c#n68

The syntax is something like:
video=<output>:<mode>

Where output is as reported by the kernel DRM/KMS.

A made-up example: video=DVI-I-1:1024x768

This option is for all DRM/KMS fb drivers AFAIK: intel, radeon and nouveau.
It's a bit odd that it isn't properly documented yet.
