Nice set of patches! I think the above change is nice too, but I can see an 
issue: The VESA settings file effectively becomes the "boot time" screen 
mode, not the one and only mode for all workspaces in case of VESA anymore. 
Even though the app_server does not support that yet, it is planned to be 
able to have individual screen modes per workspace like BeOS had. Even the 
VESA driver could now switch modes on workspace switches. Since Haiku will 
always start in the first workspace, the VESA settings file should therefor 
reflect the mode of the first workspace only. The screen preflet may be 
used to setup the resolution for another workspace, it is even the default 
at the moment. Could you incorporate that in your patch?

Best regards,
-Stephan
