Or may be John shouldn't be hijacking threads (search for netiquette if you 
don't understand what I'm talking about) and Jacob shouldn't respond?

Back to the OP's questions: 

1) radeonfb is the framebuffer used when in console to render fonts in smaller 
sizes.  radeon is the xorg video card driver.  Therefore, you could have them 
both (either built in kernel or as modules).

2)The  "(II) RADEON(0): Setting screen physical size to 320 x 240" message is 
expressing the screen resolution in millimeters .  This roughly is equivalent 
to 1210x907 pixels.  Run 'xdpyinfo -display :0.0' to see the dimensions in 
rounded numbers.
