That's actually no longer up to date information.
Thanks to Jan Klötzke, we're able to switch mode (also using EDID) with 
the VESA driver in the running system. IOW the "vesa" mode file only 
determines the resolution Haiku will boot in - but when the app_server 
takes over, it will also choose a resolution by itself.
You could automatically copy the "config/settings/system/app_server/
workspaces" (IIRC) file to the partition to specify a resolution for a 
freshly built image. It's a flattened BMessage.

Bye,
