Comment(by drcouzelis):
That is a very good suggestion. Here is what I found:
I have two DVI ports (no VGA) on my video card. I moved the monitor cable
from one port to the other and booted the live CD. This fixed many things:
I now see the Haiku boot icons, instead of a black screen and a "color
strip".
The colors look perfect.
Haiku is able to use 32bpp.
And (I think) I can do all this without doing a reboot from Linux first.
As far as I'm concerned, this specific ticket can be closed.
BUT, by switching DVI ports a new bug has appeared: in both Haiku and
Linux, the GUI looks and behaves perfectly, but the BIOS screen, the Haiku
boot screen, and the Linux console (anything that isn't X11) are... off. I
mean, everything shows up, but the picture kind of runs off the right side
of the monitor, so I can't see some of the text that is on the right side
and everything looks a little blurry. I'm going to use Google to see if it
is a known problem, although I'm not quite sure what search string to use.
:P
Anyway, in regards to this ticket, thank you very much for your help.
