The garbled display he's mentioning isn't the 32-bit color, crazy black screen glitch that's evident on nVidia cards, is it? Just wondering. Switching to 16-bit color "fixed" (worked around) that problem. I was never certain if that problem was just on nVidia card or also existed on others as well. It doesn't exist on my Matrox.

Basically one or both of the refresh rates is wrong in the default mode that gets selected. My video card is an Intel Extreme 865. I am seeing garbled display, which is why I think it's the refresh rates. I can boot Haiku fine using the vesa driver and a "safe" video mode.So it worked for you without this patch, but not with it? Bye, Axel.
