Seems there is a mechanism. The frambuffer mode selection interface applies to the DRM connectors. This means that you can sepecify a mode per output as below on the kernel command line:

    video=<output>:<mode>

Where output its the name of the output as per xrandr, say VGA1 or LVDS, and the mode is say 1024x768. The mode may be pretty complex:

      <xres>x<yres>[M][R][-<bpp>][@<refresh>][i][m][eDd]
