I'm also using the radeon driver.  It works here for different resolutions 
irrespective of the native resolution of the screen.  Of course if the 
selected resolution is not a multiple of the native screen size then the fonts 
are distorted, but display all the same.

It should be able to display whatever your card can do - but of course not all 
resolutions that you may think of.
