Comment:

 I think Haiku supports only 16 and 32 bits, but not 24. Let's close the
 ticket and let this old hardware this way, I think we can say "good
 enough" for now?

 The lack of bootscreen and failure to use VESA/FailSafe video is caused by
 an uncompatible VESA BIOS. We could work around it but it would need lots
 of efforts and there's not much point now that we have a native driver.
