Comment (by anttiv):

I've been reading a *bunch* of syslogs.. :) And installing/re-installing a
bunch of nightlies...
These are all x86-gcc2-hybrid builds (As is the R1A4), so the problem
appears also there, and not only on that one x86-64 build.

Anyway, all builds that I tested:
hrev47002 - working
hrev47204 - working
hrev47253 - working
hrev47259 - working
hrev47314 - not working
hrev47380 - not working
hrev47479 - not working
hrev47902 - not working

so something happened betweehn 259 and 314 that broke the refreshrate
selection (at least on my system). As you well know hrev47270 included
'Rework PLL picking code' and there's some radeon stuff edited in 260-ish,
plus a modification to display modes in 304.

I can't download any builds between 259 and 314, but I'd bet a great deal
that one of those (I'd bet hrev47270 ) is the one "responsible".

Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix it, now why it is happening here.
I just know that on 259 everything (regarding to resolutions and refresh
rates, obviously) works fine and on 314 it doesn't anymore.

I can provide any number of logs and outputs you require, just tell me
what you want (And if it's obscure, maybe tell me how to get it :) I know
my way around the normal *nix installations and have basic knowledge of
where Haiku stores stuff, but I'm still a user, not a developer. [sadly,
I'd like to be, but hey..]. Anyways, although I don't exactly NEED this
functionality, I'd still like to have it and really want to help Haiku in
any way).

So, anything you need, just tell. Also noteworthy: this is a
testing/goofing around machine which isn't really used in anything
important (Minecraft server being the most :D ) so if you need me to run
any programs, I'm up for it. I don't need to worry if something happens to
this system, I can always just reinstall everything. (heck, I've been
wiping and installing multiple versions of Haiku just today...)
