| 1 | | @Pulkomandy - Ok, I finally blamed my newer monitor in the end. The monitor in question is a HDTV/TV monitor versus my original "non TV" 1080p monitor (my original Y2010 test monitor which worked fine at 1920x1080 screen resolution w/radeon_hd driver). I'm checking on a firmware fix/upgrade for the monitor. This monitor does display the 1920x1080 resolution but something the radeon_hd driver does triggers this monitor to stop displaying the screen and never shows it again after the splash screen disappears. |
| 2 | | I do the exact same test with the VESA driver and it works fine everytime. Go figure. WIth the radeon_hd driver, I tried various lower screen resolutions from the boot debug menu but all ended with the same result. I'll blame the monitor for this round. |

| | 3 | NOTE: The intel_extreme driver has the same issue on my standard 1600x1200 monitor. It'll generate a black screen right after the Haiku splash screen. Using VESA driver, it'll work fine. I can even display both 1600x1200 and 1920x1440 screen resolution with the VESA driver using my Intel IGP (PCI ID: 8086:0042) using screen preferences. |
