Comment(by drcouzelis):

 Ok, I did more testing, and I think I have the situation figured out.

 As I mentioned before, DVI-0 works pretty well, but when I use DVI-1 Haiku
 looks very bad. There are no boot icons (only the "color strip") and the
 Haiku user interface colors are incorrect. It seems to be related to my
 RESOLUTION SETTINGS. When I set Haiku to 1024x768x32 and reboot, the
 beautiful boot icons appear and the Haiku user interface looks perfect.
 Then, I can change my screen settings to my native 1680x1050x32 and it
 will still look perfect.

 So, to reiterate, the color problem appears when I am using DVI-1 and I
 have my screen resolution set to anything but 1024x768x32. (I tried many
 resolutions between 1024x768x32 and 1680x1050x32, but only 1024x768x32
 would give me a perfect Haiku desktop)

 I am interested in learning about where Haiku is getting my monitor
 settings and information at boot time. I will look at the code, but
 graphics drivers are very new to me. Anyway, shall I continue posting
 here, open a new ticket, or should I continue the discussion somewhere
 else?

 Thank you.
