That's because there is no AtomBIOS available! (and i did compile the 
driver with disable-atombios and disable-atombios-parser).

See also bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13473 and

I think this is not useful, see above.

*I think it should be possible to define the PANEL monitor values in the 
xorg.conf file*
What do/others think about this?

And for CONNECTOR_PANEL (a PANEL without ATOMBIOS and without EDID) it's 
even worse, because the process for using a "configuredmonitor" is never 
hit:

   if (! rhdPtr->randr) {
       /* Pick anything for now */
       if (!rhdModeLayoutSelect(rhdPtr)) {

-> rhdModeLayoutSelect calls RHDMonitorInit() which will fail for PANEL 
(and no other monitors are connected), so the we goto error1 and never 
use the  pre-configured monitor for PANEL. But maybe that's intented?

           xf86DrvMsg(pScrn->scrnIndex, X_ERROR,
                      "Failed to detect a connected monitor\n");
           goto error1;
       }
