Comment (by pulkomandy):

 Ok, so the driver is failing to read the DDC info from your display panel
 to select the right resolution. I believe that also happens with older
 versions of Haiku.
 However, with the changes I made, the driver will set a default mode list
 and select a "random" mode from it whereas it used the mode set by VESA
 before.
 With the letterboxing I introduced, there is now a mixup when you try to
 select a mode bigger than your screen. Without DDC/EDID info, we can't
 know the actual screen size, so it's hard to tell when this will happen.
