1-(on rv200 radeon, as does rv380 on openSUSE 11.3's 1.8.0/1.3.2, both using radeon drivers) 'xrandr --panning 1920x1200' from Konsole just produces a usage message. From reading the man page, nothing more seems required. What am I missing?
--panning requires an --output, because panning areas are specified per output. So i.e. xrandr --output VGA --panning 1920x1200
2-How/where, prior to X startup, is randr --panning(?) supposed to be triggered and remembered?
If you have an xorg.conf, you can add Option "Panning" "1920x1200" to the according monitor section. If not you're currently out of luck. The login managers (gdm, kdm) or the desktops (gnome-display-properties, krandrtray) should restore the last configuration, though.
3-If it is possible to pan in 11.1's 1.5.2/1.2 on radeon[rv200,rv380], how is it to be configured?
If you're using radeonhd it's either the same, or by setting the
"RANDR_PANING_AREA" property with
xrandr --output VGA --set RANDR_PANING_AREA 1920x1200
I don't remember the exact state...
