Comment (by jahaiku):

 Replying to [comment:10 pulkomandy]:
 > Ok, so the driver is failing to read the DDC info from your display
 panel to select the right resolution. I believe that also happens with
 older versions of Haiku.
 > However, with the changes I made, the driver will set a default mode
 list and select a "random" mode from it whereas it used the mode set by
 VESA before.
 > With the letterboxing I introduced, there is now a mixup when you try to
 select a mode bigger than your screen. Without DDC/EDID info, we can't
 know the actual screen size, so it's hard to tell when this will happen.

 How/why it worked before these two svn-updates?
