Comment (by rudolfc):
Hi again :-) DDC stands for display data channel. This is a secondary
comms channel between your monitor and computer via which (for instance)
the monitor's properties are transferred. Among which the native
resolution and max refreshrates (indirectly). So this is a rather
important piece of the setmode puzzle you can imagine.
Anyhow: please now try hrev55168 or higher since I have updated the driver
once again. Amongst others for your more 'modern' picture connection
(later generation 7 chipsets have this as first ones). The driver now
accepts no DDC data which should mean you can now have a picture. Since
(if it's the only connected screen) Haiku does not know which max
resolution it can display lets hope it picks a nice default that's rather
common, or you already set a mode which you know should work on your
screen.
Please tell me if you have a picture, and if you can set other resolutions
correctly. This resolution thing I guess will still be a problem at least,
because you have two screens (internal laptop one).
Next up will be a fix to get both running more independant from each
other. IF that succeeds, (almost) everyone should have the option to use
two screens simultaneously (common mode, clone only for now).
Also please post a syslog, and maybe a picture :-)
Thanks!
