There is no equivalent. The driver relies on DDC or EDID data, and
there's no way to override that on startup.
But, if a monitor is connected but turned off, the monitor should be
configured anyway. The EDID transmitting device inside the monitor is
powered by the computer.
As soon as X has started and the output is activated, xrandr can be used
to set a specific resolution. It can not, however, activate an output on
which no monitor is connected.
