    77I see the intel_extreme driver reads the monitor's EDID info (i.e. monitor screen resolutions and product info) then the screen goes black from that point. I never see the Haiku splash screen but it seems the system has finished loading. If I disable the monitor, reboot, wait till disk activity finishes, then reconnect - I have a display with the installer GUI options and I can either install or go to the desktop. Notice it looks like 'Screen' preflet shows the Intel driver info but not the correct monitor info since I disconnected the monitor.

    9 So, I'm asking can the intel_extreme driver force/provide a basic default VESA display of 800x600x32 @ 60Hz or 1024x768 @60Hz if the device is 8086:0042 or 8086:0046 (Ironlake Desktop/Laptop) - once it gets all the EDID info??? The resolution 1024x768 @60Hz is the default display used if I use the monitor trick so it seems to work for me. I can then test if it will use the higher resolutions if everything works as planned.
