Preferences -> Monitor will only show 4096x2160 size for Monitor

Description

After installing Haiku into qemu-x86_64 with 65MiB of video ram "Preferences -> Display" only shows one entry for screen size selection: 4096x2160. I can not downsize this to something usable.

Same problem with real hardware (T460s, Lenovo, Display 1920x1080). Since only the left upper part of this screen is shown it is difficult to work with this real hardware system.

With fullscreen 1920x1080 and qemu scaling down to what the Display allows you'll need some looking glass to identify icons ...

But Haiku r1beta2 seems usable besides this problem.

QEMU only displaying one video mode is strange. However, on real hardware, it may be due to use of the EFI framebuffer, or a broken video driver.

Can you retest with a recent nightly build and see if anything is different?

Thought this closed already, since it was fixed some builds later
