1.) what is the syntax of the video line, I have seen
all kinds of examples on the net like:

"video=radeonfb:mode:1024x768-60@8"
"video=radeonfb:mode:1024x768-8@60"
"video=mode:1024x768-8@60"
"video=mode:1024x768-60@8"
"video=mode:1024x768"

sometimes with the drivername, sometimes without,
someimtes with a hypen and then the refresh rate
followed by a pound and then an @ symbol then the bpp
and vice versa. 

Is there a standardized syntax for the video line ? Do
you have to include the word "mode" what is the order
of information you have to provide, etc... 

How are these values interpreted and what order does
it read these values in ? What ist he format for
specifying pixel depth and refresh rate, etc. 

See linux/Documentation/fb/modedb.txt.

And is it possible to use vga= and video= together? 

video=radeonfb and then vga=792 

I don't think that's very useful.

Its not possible to have vesafb on one card and anothe fb on anther card
then ?
