Is there any chance the resolution can be set to the highest available
unter these circumstances? The boot screen is displayed okay with my Nvidia card but my NEC LCD shows everything below its native resolution in a very ugly way...
Afaik it picks the highest res that the monitor's EDID gives it, I might be wrong.
My monitor has a native resolution of 1024x768; it currently looks more like 640x480 or 800x600 on first sight. Should I file a bug report?
Some monitors have weird/bad EDID entries. I have one monitor which gives trouble in Linux and Windows (but works in Haiku actually, but I hope I still have a point... :-),
The weird/bad EDID data can also be due to the video chip. I have experienced this with the S3 video chips. With the same monitor some chips will return good EDID info, and other chips will either fail or return garbage. 

Best regards,
Gerald
